Asterophysus batrachus - Gulper Cats!!

[DJC776]

Just picked these guys up from the airport.

Anyone have any tips for these guys? I've done all of my homework, just thought I would give you gulper cat owners a chance to strut your stuff.

Now this is a face only a mother could love.

Get a cover on that heater mate before the buggers get burnt. Mine is always perched on top of the heater in its tank must like the warm current when it is on

Thanks bro...I actually do have a cover on that heater but it was soaking in my sink because it was covered in algae.

It's back on now.

I would love to get one of these! I think they are adorable in that "so ugly it's cute" kinda way.
