Is it okay to have flightless cormorants, Galapagos Marine iguanas, and penguins (Magellanic, Rockhopper, African, and Galapagos) together in one exhibit.

I'd keep the iguanas in a separate exhibit.

Oops. I forgot to put Marine Iguana instead of Galapagos Land Iguana.

I'd still separate them, reptiles are better with an exhibit all for them.
And I wouldn't mix so many penguins from different localities.

Combos I'll use-
Flightless Cormorant/Galapagos Penguin
Rockhopper/Magellanic Penguins

(African Penguins and Marine Iguanas will have separate exhibits)

Does anyone have any good zoo name suggestions for a small, non-specialized zoo in California? Also any animal suggestions? It's kind of scrub-ish, with a warm climate.

Chose animals from warm climates (Mediterranean, arid, subtropical).

I'm making a rehab center in Southern California that borders the Sonoran Desert. Feel free to take a look at my species list and see if anything inspires you. Here

I always have issues coming up with names. Try googleing 'Sumatran names' or 'South-East Asian names' or even just 'baby names', and see if anything inspires you :)

I'm not sure if I should have made a separate topic for this, but if need be, I'll go ahead and do that. I've recently come up with a few ideas for potential Show and Tells, and I'd like to know which one the community would like to see first.
  • Phanerozoic Park, which would be a zoo or wildlife sanctuary similar to Aladeen's Pangaea Reborn, but would (hopefully) feature more Paleozoic and Cenozoic animals. (Chances are that I won't do this one yet, if at all, due to its dangerously close similarity to PR and the fact that it would share many of the exact same downloads. The last thing I'd want is to have a knock-off of someone else's Show and Tell.)

  • Pleistocene Park, based on the real-life project of the same name in Siberia, Russia, which aims to restore the mammoth steppe ecosystem. It would mainly feature modern-day relatives of the animals that used to live in that ecosystem and would eventually include thriving mammoth populations and perhaps even a limited number of Pleistocene predators (or their modern descendants) to keep the ecosystem in check. Rather than being a conventional zoo, the park would be nothing but vast landscapes, allowing the animals to live out their lives in normalcy. (I may actually start with this one, but most likely no mammoths would be included until Eryel's woolly mammoth is released. Although I may have a backup plan...)

  • Jurassic Park: San Diego, set in an alternate 1997/1998, following Peter Ludlow's successful transfer of certain dinosaurs from Isla Sorna and opening a mainland Jurassic Park. San Diego would only feature the animals that were seen in the base camp scene of "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," but should the first park do well, more may open elsewhere across the nation and possible even in Europe and Japan, just like Hammond had originally intended, with other species.

  • An as-of-yet unnamed Antarctic zoo or reserve, which would hold mainly polar animals, including polar dinosaurs. Because the zoo would be set in Antarctica, most of the zoo grounds (excluding some enclosures) would be completely sealed off from the outside, as if everything was inside a giant igloo, to maintain the insulation of heat. (And last I checked, none of the guest models wear the appropriate clothing for arctic/Antarctic environments. :P )
I simply want to get an idea of what the community would like to see. Of course, I will begin work on any and/or all projects at my own discretion.

I am making a large fish tank that showing pirarucu.
I had stopped because I cannot decide what fish I should feed and mixed with them.
Can anyone give me some suggestion?

Redtail catfish, black arowana, pacu, peacock bass, Motoro stingray and possibly plecos (if you wanna use species from the same habitat).

The Antarctic zoo would be really cool to see.
