A piece of toast and a terminator.

I have a large tank housing a whale shark, zebra sharks,spotted eagle rays, manta rays, a Wobbegong, Sandbar sharks, and a moray eel. I plan on adding a Sawfish, a honeycomb grouper, giant guitarfish, and cownose rays. Are there any smaller fish that could add (tang, angels, etc.)? I was thinking about trevally. Would the sharks eat them?

Well I mean yes but odds are they won't if proper precautions (aka feeding them) were taken hahaha

The Georgia Aquarium houses a lot of smaller species in their ginormous tank.
The one I'd leave out is the honeycomb grouper, because it isn't just small but could spend all day hidden in the rocks without being seen. I'd go with a larger species like giant or goliath.

You can combine coatis with a variety of things like tapirs, capybaras, peccary, raccoons, spectacled bears, and larger New World Monkeys

Not even just larger, I have seen them with Cottontop Tamarins.

Also saw White-nosed with Island Fox, and another instance with Capybara and Giant Anteater. TBH they're pretty cool and don't have to be combined.

Would Arapaimas, Ocellate River Stingrays and Black Pacus work?

Also what would be a good addition to a tank with Leopard Sharks?

1. Yes, shouldn't give any problems
2. Bamboo sharks, smoothounds, small types of ray, etc. I've also seen them with reef fish

Leopards sharks can be kept with other East Pacific stuff (Garibaldi, Rockfish, etc.), a shark-only exhibit with other similar stuff (Horn, Pacific Angelshark, etc.), or you could pull something wonky like San Diego Zoo and have them with penguins, even if they don't co-habitate with them in the wild.

Wow that is actually a nice suggestion. I don't think I will combine them with Penguins, but that is something I wouldn't have come with by myself.

I think I will go with Bocaccio and Marbled Rockfish. Thanks for the suggestion! You as well Ocra Freak :)

What kind of species go well with Harbour Porpoises? I have Milkfish, will they be good with the porpoises?

I wouldn't combine anything with porpoises; they're EXTREMELY fragile even in captivity [if not especially in captivity] so species-only works best for them.

Could I mix a small herd of female cape buffalo with a couple of female dromedary camels?

I wouldn't. Both are large and irritable so you may end up with deaths

Would it be possible to combine the porcupine with giraffes and some oryx?
