Granulosus Vs Gulper

[h0ckeyfreek20]

I have the opportunity to purchase a Granulosus or Gulpercatfish.

The Granulosus (36"max) would go in my 400g tank, the Gulper (14"max)could probably stay in my 125g.

Which fish would you choose?

- 4-5" Granulosus $15
or
- 5-6" Gulper $85

I have a gulper whats going in the 125 with it? Good chance it eats it.

I have 2 granulosus and they are very slow growing. Maybe like 1" per year. I got mines to come up to the top for floating pellets. They do hide mostly but active when feed. Also, I like the way they look better than the Gulper in my opinion.

You will end up with only the Gulper in that tank. Pretty much species only.

1" per year?! i figured a 36" fish would grow way faster than that

Even with only 12-14" max size? maybe he'd be better suited in the 400 with larger fish

My gulpers would regularly eat items up to 2x their size. It's amazing. Single Species only tank.
