I tried the searsh option to find the anwser but couldn't.
Can 1 pair of gouldian and 1 pair of zebras be kept together in 1 cage? if so, what is the minimum cage space?

I wouldn't house them together because the zebras I think, would stress the gouldians too much, especially if you intend to breed them.

Zebras can also be pretty aggressive and nasty.
The gouldians are so laid back that I would be afraid for them.
So yes, best not to keep them together.

I would only do it if you had a huge aviary :)
