It is housed in a Aquarium / Exhibit habitat, accepts the Open Sea / Reef biome, carries a no barrier requirement and is listed at no published size. It shares a biome and an enclosure type with 27 other species, so it can be mixed into a shared enclosure — 0 of those pairings are confirmed by Frontier's own text.

Enclosure and barrier requirements

Indo-Pacific Sergeant needs a Aquarium / Exhibit enclosure and accepts the Open Sea / Reef biomes. The barrier requirement is none at all, and that is the number to check before building: a Grade 4 animal behind a Grade 1 wall is the most common way a first zoo stalls.

Rule: two animals can share an enclosure only when they share a biome and an enclosure type. Likely OK means Frontier's own Social & Reproduction text says both species live in groups; Unverified means the data does not say, so we do not guess. Pair-by-pair table: compatibility chart.

Same biome, but not compatible

7 of the species that accept the Open Sea / Reef biome cannot share an enclosure with the Indo-Pacific Sergeant, because one side of the pair is officially solitary. These are the pairings people ask about most, so they are spelled out rather than left as an unexplained gap.

Close, but ruled out by enclosure type

1 species share at least one biome with the Indo-Pacific Sergeant but use a different enclosure type — a land habitat against an aquarium or a flying aviary — so they cannot be mixed however well the biomes line up.

Behaviour, size and weight

Indo-Pacific Sergeant is classed as Not stated in Frontier's Social & Reproduction notes: “Indo-Pacific sergeants form small to large aggregations and live in these loose groups.” On size the game lists no published size for the male. Size and weight together decide the minimum habitat footprint, so use the female figure when you are sizing a breeding pair rather than a display animal.
