Guys are the following combinations of fishes ok?

- Alenquer discus with rummy nose tetra
- Oscar fish and green terror
- Festa's cichild with rainbow tetra

I don't know if they can be put together or if one will eat the other xD

1. Yes
2. Oscars in real life are very aggressively feeding, they could deprive smaller terrors of food.
3. They'd eat your tetras. Festa's cichlids are large and carnivorous.

Thank you MrGorsh! So i should keep the green terror in their own tank then.

Can i combine the festa's with the green terror though?

(sorry i have no idea about this kind of stuff xD)

I'd say you can combine cichlids as long as they are the same size and they have enough space to stay away from each other. I wouldn't keep discus or angelfish with the other cichlids though, as they are quite fragile and non aggressive and could meet a bad end.

I don't think it's overused, but I suggest to make it less noticeable, like placing a lot of other stuff in front of it.

So I was going to attempt making a pond like those I've seen in documentaries in England. I already know what foliage to use underwater, but I don't know about the surrounding environment; what kind of trees and plants would you reccomend ?

This is a building for an upcoming small zoo, it features 3 vivariums and one indoor exhibit for some kind of lemur. What do you think?

From what I can see the design looks amazing and the lemur exhibit seems very well made :)

It looks fantastic from what I can see :D

And Furka, for the surrounding foliage, perhaps some birches, poplars, aspens and a few oaks scattered around would look good? And for in between just some long grasses and a few of JH's flowers to add some colour.

Is it useful to have an underwater viewing for a komodo dragon?

I know in the wild the can swimm between islands, but i don't know if it is a behaviour that they would do in captivity if the have a stream or lake in their exhibit.

They would probably bask in shallow water every now and then, but I doubt they would use a pond like a tiger, so I don't think it's needed.

And thanks for the tips Hippo.
