Bleeding heart dove, chestnut faced babbler, pitta, imperial pigeon, Moluccan king parrot, hanging parrots, laughing thrush, etc
 
What fish can be housed with West African Lungfish for a West African dry season aquarium? What fish can be housed with Atlantic Tarpon and Crevalle Jack for a West African estuaries aquarium? What aquatic reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates are from West Africa (I already have a tank with Hemichromis, Smith's African Water Snake, and West African Mud Turtle)? I specifically need species found in American captivity.

West african water skinks (Cophoscincopus simulans) would be a fun sub aquatic west african reptile species. Perhaps lethocerus species aswell, tho they are wild caught.
 
What fish can be mixed in a Zambezi River, Lake Malawi, Lake Turkana, and Okavango Delta aquarium (all sperate)? What aquatic reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates are from the Zambezi River, Great African Lakes, and Okavango Delta? I specifically need species found in American captivity.

Specifically for Lake Malawi, what would be the best cichlid combination that would be realistic (specific species) for the US? I also need the Zambezi River and Okavango Delta animals
 
I don't need help anymore with the other requests. What species would do well in a "Komodo House" which would be located next to the entrance, focusing on Australasia? They also could be housed with the Komodos too
 
The only species I could see being mixed the komodos would be Zebra Finches; but I’d argue that they’re already impressive enough as a standalone species*.

[Edit] *the dragons, not the zebra finches

How big would the malawi tank be? And what kind of malawi; mbuna, aulonocara or utaka?
 
I need species for my Silk Routes sector for the following exhibits (all found/easily accessible for the AZA). They should be arid-adapted;
  • A headliner/popular animal in outdoor Mediterranean complex
  • Smaller animals (for an indoor building) in Crossroads (North Africa and Middle East)
  • Any animal for Sloth Bear Forest (outdoors and indoors, focusing on Indian dry forests, Deccan Plateau, and Indian deserts)
  • Any animal for the indoor Maritime building which has animals from the Maritime routes of the Silk Road
 
- Mediterranian complex headliner/popular animal: Spanish lynx, European flamingo, Eurasian grey wolf, Dromedary camel
- Smaller animals for North Africa and Middle East: Fennec fox, Egyptian fruit bat, North African gundi, Fat-tailed mouse, Mongolian gerbil
- Sloth Bear Forest: Chital, Hog deer, One-horned rhino, Leopard (melanistic), Snow leopard, Rhesus macaque

For the Maritime building doesn’t look very easy, I’m not to sure what to say.

For the Maritime building I would think to fish from the Mediterranean, then Red Sea and Indian Ocean.
One or more aviaries with waders/seabirds would be interesting, especially with uncommon species like White-headed Duck, Crab-eating Plover, Purple Swamphen... and why not a pool with Mediterranean Monk Seals and another one for Dugongs ?

Thanks but the white-headed duck is the only realistic species to get in the USA (and specifically the AZA)
