Really? Ph 9. Mine is about 8.5 and I'm on my second gulper, both went off food. I'm guessing they either had parasites or water conditions weren't correct. My current gulper I don't believe has eaten in 4 months and its in a tank of large convicts. I was just about to order peat balls to lower the ph. My last gulper I treated with metronidazole , prazipro and other meds and I think in the end the meds affected its swim bladder as he was on his back and couldn't balance. Really puzzled as I thought With the second one I'd avoid feeders, which i i did. He had a couple of cichlids but went the same as the first of food.
I'm really lost with this one? Was in with a stingray before I moved him to the tank with the convicts. However went off food for a month then ate 2 king prawns then went off food all together. I love these little fella, if only I knew what was going wrong. I don't think I could bring myself round to do the 3 hr round trip and £125 to do the same thing for a third time.
First, you are keeping your Gulpers at an impossibly high ph.mwe are talking amazonian fish. Acud and soft water.
Second, no Gulper thrives well alone.

So are you suggesting get another and lower the ph? How is tanzil managing ph 9? I might get peat balls anyone else use these?
