Hey guys im looking at getting a 8cm Gulper catfish
His tank mates would be a 20cm Channa Micropeltes and a 20cm Jardini Aro

What are your thoughts on this?
Is it advisable?
 
Can’t have tankamtes that are too aggressive. I’d say no plus a gulper can tag those fish.

Good tankmates are other gulper catfish.

The gulper will either eat them or they'll harass it. Only two ways I see that going

I must agree with the advice given above. Our hobby is a gamble no matter how we slice it, but this gamble would be on the most dangerous side according to my very limited knowledge. Gulpers are said to not deal well with bullying.

I have a trio of gulpers in 240 gal with lots of tank mates. So far so good but I am not easy about this community because of the gulpers: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/gulper-catfish-trio-7.678741/#post-7630190

Love your gulpers bud
 
They never seem to hit 14 ,they can be kept with small shrimp(such as black cherry shrimp),guppiesand any small fish they won't bump into(2 inches or less)
