Growth Rate?

[Onion01]

What would you say a gulper's growth rate is?

Not too quick.

I don't think mine are hitting .5" a month...and they are eating well and being spoiled in every way possible.

how big are yours? What size did you get them at, and how long ago was this?

I got them at the end of January...beginning of February...somewhere around there.

I bought them as 3", but they were closer to 4" (maybe even just under 5") when I got them. They are about 6" now...but one has really seemed to out grow the other in girth.

what is the max size of a gulper? and what size tank?

Max size is about 12". I have them in a 40 breeder right now, but given how lazy these guys are I don't think I'll go much bigger than a 75 when they are adults.

where do you find these guys at

I bought mine from Infinite Aquatics (rkc772). I just had them flown into Boston and picked them up at the airport.

I paid $150 for the cats and an additional $100 for shipping...still better than $250 at the lfs.

Yeah, they are a bit steep. I bought 2...that was $150 for both. I realized I kind of worded that weird.

You know what's funny...I actually got that pic from a guy I worked with...his daughter said it reminded her of him.
