shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I just got my 2 gulper yesterday, and i must say they are interesting fish. they just kind of bumble about at their own pace, and this morning they were lying pressed against the glass. i thought they might be dead but ive read that they have this behavior and made sure they were breathing. i wont relax for a while though because the tank their in seems to have been undergoing a mini cycle after i ordered them so im gonna have to do water changes every day if i need to.
 
cool....what size tank? tank mates? what size are they?
 
they are still small, about 6 inches and thin. i have them in a 55 gal alone. i dont have a camera so i cant put up pics, but if i can borrow one i will. my sister complained how ugly they are but theyve already grown on me just watching them bumble about without a care in the world. id like to get another one because they seem to be pretty social

Cool. Are they eating yet. try thawing some frozen shrimp. I would rip into big chunks. Mine go crazy for it!!!!!!!
Or you can feed them whole shrimps, clams, mussels, ect.
 
Gulper cats are so cool! They're so goofy as well.
 
they did not eat last night but i had just put them in. they seemed very active that night so i think they are doing well. im gonna try to feed them some shrimp when i get home from work
 
hey, do you guys think i should put a power head in the tank for current? i have a spare one sitting around, but if it will bother them too much i dont want to do it. any thoughts on this? and if it would be good for them, should i put it near the bottom where they usuually live or near the middle so it wont be as strong of an effect?
 
wow gulper cats cool, i dont think the power head should bother them too much..
where are the pics?? :)
