Mixed species exhibit ideas

[MOG2012]

Can Amazon Leaffish Monocirrhus polyacanthus, Black Ghost Knifefish Apteronotus albifrons, and Whiptail Catfish Farlowella acus be in a red-lighted, nocturnal enclosure? Are any nocturnal species from the Amazon compatible with them, and are found in "cave" like spaces? This is for a facility that would be located in the United States

Would Spinifex Pigeon and Laughing Kookaburra work ?

That wouldn't really work. The kookaburras would likely try to hunt the pigeons and if breeding, the pigeons' babies.

I would replace the kookaburras with Eastern Rosellas and Regent Parrots, if it works.
Spinifex Pigeons are bad in breeding, so other pigeons or doves have to sit on this eggs

It wouldn't work. Choose one of the plovers, one curlew, one godwit and so on. Egrets als Kingfishers would bully too small birds

Could a mix of Addax, Beisa Oryx, Nubian Red-fronted Gazelle, and Red-necked Ostrich work?
Unrelatedly, could I mix Ornate Uromastyx, Armadillo Girdled Lizard, and Pancake Tortoise? And would any/all species be able to mix with Egyptian Tortoise?

Beisa oryx can be territorial, red-fronted gazelle can get stressed, and the ostriches can get defensive but the Ostritch isn’t likely going to be a problem (though they might peck the smaller animals, and are aggressive during breeding season). It could work if you remove the Beisa oryx and make the exhibit spacious

This would work, all animals are Compatible

Dugong, Silver Moony, Chocolate Chip Seastar, Banggai Cardinalfish, Sleeper banded goby, Covict blenny
Will this mix work?

Dugong, Silver Moony, Chocolate Chip Seastar, Banggai Cardinalfish, Sleeper banded goby, Covict blenny
Will this mix work?

With a tank big enough for Dugongs, you could add a lot more fish. Gobies and Cardinalfish are reef-dwelling, so they wouldn't do super well in a tank with so much open space. Fish like Tangs, Snappers, Angelfish, Fusiliers, etc. would do better, since they're more open water-dwelling, like Dugongs

Would a mix of Magpie Shrike Urolestes melanoleucus and Four-banded Sandgrouse Pterocles quadricinctus work without conflict?

 

[birdsandbats]

Would a mix of Magpie Shrike Urolestes melanoleucus and Four-banded Sandgrouse Pterocles quadricinctus work without conflict?

It should. Magpie Shrikes have been mixed with many other bird species, so I can't imagine a sandgrouse would be an issue.

Would the following enclosures work?

• An aviary of New Guinea with Papuan Eclectus Eclectus polychloros, Southern Cassowary Casuarius casuarius, and Victoria Crowned-Pigeon Goura victoria
• A walkthrough aviary focusing on Micronesia with Guam Kingfisher Todiramphus cinnamominus, Guam Rail Gallirallus owstoni, and Mariana Fruit Dove Ptilinopus roseicapilla
• An aquarium of the Vanuatu Seascape with Ambon Cleaner Shrimp Lysmata amboinensis, Blackback Anemonefish Amphiprion melanopus, Bubble-tip Anemone Entacmaea quadricolor, Flame Angelfish Centropyge loriculus, Pyramid Butterflyfish Hemitaurichthys polylepis, Ternate Damselfish Amblyglyphidodon ternatensis, and Whitespotted Surgeonfish Acanthurus guttatus

Wouldn't the Rails be hard to find? Also, walkthroughs aren't exactly conducive for breeding.

Rails are found in 10 collections of the United States where my zoo is hypothetically located. I won't make it a walkthrough.

• Would Red-footed Booby be okay in an aviary with Hawaiian Goose Branta sandvicensis, and Laysan Duck Anas laysanensis?
• What about an outdoor enclosure for coconut Crab, and Hawaiian land hermit crab?

Could Nutria, northameircan raccoon and raccon dog (all non breeding), be mixed together ?

 

[MOG2012]

Could Nutria, northameircan raccoon and raccon dog (all non breeding), be mixed together ?

I don't see why you would mix them together. The raccoon dog is clearly out of place. All of the animals are all invasive in some places and are often seen as nuisances. The raccoon can harass and is aggressive to the other animals. Nutrias can be territorial over food and water sources. Raccoon dogs can get stressed. Raccoon dogs and raccoons might compete for resources. All of them can carry zoonotic diseases which might be fatal to the other occupants. None of the animals are compatible

It could be an invasive species exhibit, you know.
