I've since have turned it down to 75. Everything is fine except for the blue damsel, he is heavy breathing. Any ideas to help him ortime will tell. Help Thank you Bob

I would look for another cause. Last summer, my old 55g had temperature swings of more than 5* every day and with far more sensitive fish than a damsel. Even in my current tank, I had a heater malfunction which dropped my tank temp more than 10* overnight and all inhabitants were fine.
That's a pretty small tank. Are you sure the water tests OK? Getting enough circulation for oxygen? Any signs of aggression?
