Two questions : (1) can rollers and bee-eaters be mix together and (2) can they be mix with smaller birds (mainly worried about the rollers here)? |

I think mixing the bee-eaters with smaller birds shouldn't be a problem but mixing rollers with smaller birds can be problematic (I'm worried, too). In Berlin (Zoo) they have their own aviary. So, better keep them in their own aviary or with bigger birds. |

Rollers can mostly be kept with other birds the same size and slightly smaller, as long as the other birds don't breed. They're rather sluggish birds and they are not aerial hunters, so they are not the hardest birds to mix. I've seen them with lots of different species as small as tanagers and zebra finches, but they will go after babies. |

Literally any deer species would work, I think, but if you actually want visitors to see the pandas I'd go with something small (tufted deer or muntjacs) |

Would Nile Crocodiles & Goliath Tiger Fish work? Or Dwarf Crocodiles and Goliath Tiger Fish? |

I'm not convinced about both, since Tigerfish are active swimmers and would require a very large water area, and then you might not see the crocs. Plus they are very aggressive and I am not sure they won't try to bite a dwarf croc or baby nile (adult niles might munch on them on the other hand). |

In Blijdorp they do mix Nile crocodile with tigerfish and Mozambique tilapia(?). |

Can koalas be combined with anything? I was considering putting them in a mixxed species exhibit with some wallabies for a small Australian section of the zoo I'm making. |

The ones in Blijdorp aren't Goliath, but common tigerfish (according to ZTL) which grow smaller. |

I've seen koalas with geese as well as echidnas before. I couldn't tell you if wallabies would work or not. |

I haven't seen tigerfish with crocodiles, but I've seen Goliaths with Common tigerfish, Giraffe catfish, African arowana and other large fish in a tank that was not excessively large. |
