Muntjacs and pandas shouldn't be kept in the same enclosure as well. Atn Nuremberg Zoo two Pandas were killed by the male muntjac living in the same enclosure!
I'd have to disagree with you there. I think what happened at Nuremberg was an isolated incident, Opel Zoo Kronberg has muntjacs and red pandas. Minnesota Zoo has them with goral which are more aggressive than muntjacs.

Get your brain ready to judge and think.

No. Literally everything in there eats everything else in there. And there is the fact that they live in different parts of the lake or river they live in.

I know Bullheads are very aggressive, and Northern Pikes are deadly. They'll tear apart the other fish.

Well in private aquaria, I've seen Shortnose Gar, Bowfin, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike housed together

Some of those could be housed together, but it's still a risky combination even in a very large tank, given how almost all are predators and/or very territorial species.
Also many of those species are way too small and would definately be eaten.
And this not counting the specific needs of each species like oxygen levels and so on, because I'm not familiar with those.

I'm making an Australian section for my upcoming zoo and could do with some help:
First off could I combine numbats and sugar gliders?
And secondly would a platypus combination with either a shelduck or a pilgrim goose be a problem?

I don't think the sugar glider / numbat combo would work simply because numbats are diurnal and sugar gliders are nocturnal so you would only see the numbats in the day and in a night house you would only see the gliders.

This combination was in the Milwaukee County Zoo.

Are you talking about the fish combo?

Yeah. In Milwaukee County Zoo, in the Aquatic Reptile Center, there is a Lake Wisconsin exhibit, with that combination.

Damn Rexpony. Back at it again asking questions you already know the answer to! I would like to remind you that this is not a game and instead a place for people to get help when planning zoos. And this isn't the first time you've done it. The first page in this topic states very clearly what this topic is for.

IF you are looking for a species to go in a mixed exhibit ask here.


No part in there gave any mention of asking if something to work when you ALREADY KNOW and that will! And that brings me to the other part on the first page where the topic is explained.

Frankly asking people if something would work when you've already seen it is a stupid question.

@Burns Well it is true, but I should keep my comments to myself. And is it really necessary to use that Snapchat joke? I hate it though xD

Could Fly River Turtles and Barrimundi be kept together, and are there any other fish from the same general area that would work well in addition to these two?

Thanks!

Yes, this combo can work, and can also have Murray cod, and golden perch. As barramundi are quite aggressive and large, be careful, but this combo should work if you have about a 2,000 gallon aquarium. You can have a breeding pair of turtles in this, but no more, as fly river turtles are extremely territorial.
