First Gulper Catfish

[Abgtwo]

So i was getting ready to order my fish from my lfs and i was looking over the list one last time, and i saw an ogre catfish. So i googled it to see what it was and low and behold it was a gulper catfish. I was in serious consideration to drive 6 hours to get one in new jersey. The price was 59.99. I don't know how great of a price it is but i have really wanted one for a while now. Would he be ok in a 29 gallon tank for a week or so?

They are awesome Cats. It'll be fine in a 29g for awhile. $60 is a pretty good price considering I still see them up for $80 and over.
