just remember they do grow very fast. if he is that tiny it might work out for a bit

my opinion on hippos is as follows...#1 make sure you have enough room (they grow quick) #2 feed a good balance of green suplements( i used romain lettuce alot when i had my hippo)they get latteral line disease real easy ,so make sure you feed him well. i also used "selcon drops" on the frozen food. and by the way...my hippo lived well and looked great until i had to break down the tank.(moved)
