over the years a couple of fish have passed.. the group was probably 7 years old when one died.. no idea of the cause.. they are/were all of course big.

That's a long time.

Hippo needs space. I’d say 8’ for three. They can live a while. Buddy of mine has one 15 years .... mine is 8.

Thanks. I've got a 270g (84x30x25) on order and we are looking for a trio of something to give that schooling look.
