I was wondering, if you could keep Pikes (2), Beluga Sturgeon (only 1) and a juvenile Wels Catfish in one aquarium?

Hi guys, i'm building an exhibit for the south china tiger, and i want to know what kind of foliage should i use. My zoo is located in china, and it has a temperate forest general style, but i want to make the tiger exhibit as acurate as the original habitat of the tiger. Problem is, this species is probably extinct in the wild and i don't know which kind of habitats are in the south of china (tropical rainforest, temperate forest?). There isn't much information in wikipedia about the tiger's habitat. So, what do you recomend xD

I would look up its original habitation, then look up pics of that area.

China to my knowledge is more or less a mixture of temperate forest and alpine.

@Komori: i didn't saw your post before... and yeah is what i'm doing for the general style of the zoo, but the south of china is close to the asian southeast, which is very tropical.. and the pictures didn't help me at all lol

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

The foliage in that picture is very much temperate - those are all evergreens and pines of types found only in temperate regions.

i think you can, but they would need a pretty large tank because the latter can grow very big, and then it could look somehow empty ...

So, without catfish they would be completely fine? And how big would that tank have to be?

Guys , is it ok to use a combo of palms and trembling aspen ? The area I'm building on has those , however , their not found there , they were planted there and Placed in an orderly matter along the streets . Also what plants go well with them ? I'm building on a tropical country so I'm not entirely sure if pines can work out well ...
