what fish live with hippos?

[Tstove15]

LOL So i was watching dirty jobs and they were doing a thing on hippos. When the hippos got into the water, they were swimmin with fish that looked like african cichlids? I know hippos are from africa so do they live with africans?

I would guess that there are some types of tilapia as well as Haplochromis fishes there.You should take a trip to New Jersey's Adventure Aquarium.They had a large hippo display with hundreds of African cichlids in the water.

Dude don't even think about it. I tried keeping a hippo in my 75gal african tank and I was vacuuming hippo turds twice a day.

Bmore is awesome,I've only been there once but the Jersey place has changed since it opened and you would get to see up close how the hippos and fish look.I didnt know that Mike Rowe was there.

A 75??? that's way too small, you need like a 150 or something, they'll only grow to the size of the tank, but if they start too big it's too late they dont really shrink down.
