So we agree then... The prescription is take two tanks and call us in the morning to renew your prescription?

how big do gulpers get?

12" is average nowever I've heard of 18" being caught in the Wild

wow! 18"?!! i heard they max 10 in captivity and i hope so or else i should have got a bigger tank. luckily for me though, i cant suffer from MTS until i move out, because my room is real small, onyl 10'x14', so i cant really fit another tank. if i ever ran into a fish i loved as much as the gulper though, i might be tempted to throw away my couch and replace it with another tank. i figure i can fit a 125g where it is now

They should do good in the 55, thats plenty of room since they don't swim around so much. And rarely will they ever get to 18", I think in the wild, but not in captivity.

any suggestions on foods they will readily take? i was planning to feed them market shrimp, but wont wont touch it. any other things to try that he might go for?

Give it some time. When I had a Gulper, it took about 2 weeks of starving before it took it.
