Marine reptile compatibility

This wishlist item would basically be (at least slightly) increasing the Cohabitation limit of marine reptiles. See below for reasoning.

I noticed recently that marine species which previously were incompatible in an enclosure now are copacetic. Usually you could only have one large, one medium, and one small -- otherwise someone would hate someone else. I LOVED this change, as it isn't too practical to place multiple lagoons in a park. I was excited to get, for instance, Styxosaurus and Attenb's together.

So I got super pumped and did all my fossil-hunting, etc. I released quite a few, all with the Tolerant gene. 1 large, 2 medium, and 2 small. But even with this gene/trait, I realized I could really only have 4 total species before Cohabitation started to be a problem. So I sold all my plesiosaurs and this seemed to balance. So despite the many changes that were made, the total species I could have together increased by 1. I couldn't think of another way to do it where at least one of the species wouldn't have a Cohabitation problem.

I sort of get this on one hand; all species wouldn't necessarily hunt or be hunted by eachother (especially plesio-types), but they would compete for the same food source. However I do wish this Cohabitation limit could be increased to about what we get with aviaries, where I can safely release 5 or 6 species without fear of rampant rebellion.
 
This would be great for a larger roaster, but I fear they will stop this year. Having ichthyosauruses and plesiosauruses together would be perfect for original Jurassic Park.
Honestly I'm fine with the current marine variety, but wish I could comingle a couple more species. Even if they end up eating eachother. X'D
 
Personally, I think it would be nice if the plesiosaurs, elasmosaurs, and small sized ichthyosaurs could all coexist without trying to kill each other. The main reason being only the mosasaurs, pliosaurs, and, if the developers add them, the large ichthyosaurs really hunt other marine reptiles, and I think the cohabitation mechanics should be modified to reflect that.
 
Please no more cohabitations with each other. The aquatic beasts have almost no animations already, and if they were all cool with each other now, all other combat animations would be lost as well, like what happened with the mosasaurus.
Since he now gets along well with ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, the animation mosasaurus vs small aquatic dinos has completely disappeared from the game, which is quite a shame.

A sandbox option has been introduced, with which you can set that all animals understand each other. And if you play other modes, that's part of the challenge, that you just can't cradle all the animals in one lagoon.

Only when it doesn't have the Aggressive trait. It still hunts them down otherwise, at least in my parks. But I get what you're saying. It's just that lagoons take up SO much space for really 3, maybe 4 species.

even with the agressiv trait my mosa prefer to starve then eating one of these 2 species....... 🤷‍♂️
But i understand your problem. lagoons often seem very empty
