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

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.

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. :screwy:

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