Hey yeah actualy i have all three in the same tank. I have a stripped dog face a pork and a cow and they all seem to get along well with each other though there was a few things i did to make it as easy as possible to make them happy together . My dog was the first one in the tank and then came the pork they were ok together no aggresion shown towards each other. But then i decided i really wanted to add a cow and it got a little tricky. With my cow being so small About 1.5 inches mabey a tad less and the pork at 3+ inches and the dog close to the same i feared the cow would be picked on as the new edition, thus stressing him out and i was worried about a release of toxins that could wipe out my whole tank. ( BAD ) So this is what i did, First i removed the pork and the dog, moved them in to a 55 gallon i got from a freind and used water out of the main tank, then i moved all the LR around to make the enviroment different when they came back. All this time the cow is in a QT i left every one out of the main for 2 weeks then i introduced the cow into the tank and left him in by himself for another week. After that i put the pork and dog back in. They all seem to be fine together but i do hand feed the cow sometimes to make sure he is getting enough food. I also feed them on different sides of the tank i start the puffs first and then attract thecow to the other side of the tank and feed him.
HTH Good luck
