If you were talking about jelly fish, yes. But since you are talking hippo; NO! They will not swim the circle, they will go left to right I bet. Although i have not seen it done, I would not recommend it. Barry

At adult size they can be 10 to 12 inches.
It is negligent to keep this type of fish in a tank that is not at least six feet in one horizontal direction.
Lots of horsepower on a circle track.
