Californian sea lion and bottlenose dolphin is a common combination for example. In addition, you can add other pinniped species like harbour seals or Northern fur seal.

... California Sea Lion and Bottlenose Dolphin? Yeahhh no.

I've seen mostly just California Sea Lion/Harbour Seal Combos, but also the following:
- California Sea Lion/Harbour Seal/Brown Pelican
- California Sea Lion/Harbour Seal/Steller's Sea Lion
- California Sea Lion/Harbour Seal/Guadalupe Fur Seal

Nuremberg Tiergarten keeps Californian sea lions and bottlenose dolphins together for example. It works well ;)

Seriously? That seems so... weird. Like I guess it makes sense but I wouldn't call it a common combination.

Yeah, they are keeping them together without any problems and at least the dolphins breed.
But it seems that "common" indeed isn't the right word but I don't think Nuremberg is the only facility havimg this combination. I may remember at least another European facility but at the moment I don't know which one.
But I really thought it was common because this combination seems so normal to me.

I didn't know there was a second page when I posted it. :/

Also, could I mix Black arawonas with Peacock bass?

Singapore Zoo, at one point, kept West Indian manatees, African penguins, White pelicans and Californian sea lions together, to expand on the previous subject. Sea World Orlando also has shows with California sea lions, Pacific walrus and Asian small-clawed otters.

All in all I'd just say any marine mammal, and even bird, is compatible with Sea Lions.

I think so as long as you have enough space, as both are aggressive predators and peacock bass can be rather territorial.

Actually their range extends pretty far south too, up until northern California IIRC. California sea lions' range also extends into Alaskan territory, though they don't breed there.

I wouldn't trust the South American Sea Lions with anything (they kill pretty much whatever they want in their respective environments) while Peruvian Pelican/Marine Otter may work I dunno if it's even necessary. Throwing a dolphin into any of these doesn't seem like a good idea but nothing bad would come of it unless perhaps a Cephalorynchus dolphin simply due to the fact that they're so small.
