According to www.wikipedia.com a herd of hippopotami is called a pod, herd, dale or bloat and that the plural of hippopotamus is variously: hippopatami, hippopotamus or simply hippopotamus.
Personally, I like the term bloat simply because it sounds funny. :)
As far as the plural of hippopotamus goes, I think hippopotami makes the most sense as it follows the pattern of cactus/cacti and octopus/octopi.
