Yes, of course i will. It was very hard to get a Gulper in Switzerland. I have him since December last jear. I thik he isn't grow a lot since then, perhaps only about an inch. When i got him he was quite skinny, he was a wildcaught one. I was lucky and otherwise he was healthy and eated instantly. I give him most of the time whole frozen fish, and sometimes a live one. I have lots of hidnig places in his 55 gallon tank, but happily hes always hangs out right in front of the Aquarium. I think if a Gulper feels safe, he didn't hide a lot. What's funny about mine is that i had kept him with guppies and this combination worked well. Now he lives with some cardinal Tetras, but that was a fault... Im very happy with him, he shows awsome coloration and is very healthy. He eats without any problems, i think the key to success is lots of hidnig places and a perfect ph level.
That's a very good summary!
I agree about the coloration, hiding and eating. A fish that feels safe is many times going to act and look different than one that doesn't feel safe. Your tank probably feels like a good home.

would they be good in a 200 gallon tank with an oscar, african pike, peacock bass, red hook, four line catfish, prehistoric catfish, and a fly river turtle(someone gave it to me, did not buy it)
Hello
No, this definitely won't work. The gulper will eat all of your fishes. A 40 gallon is already fine for a single gulper catfish, so if you really want one, do it this way.

Depends on relative sizes. Either gulper will eat or attempt to eat many or all of the listed, or some of the listed will eat or attempt to eat the gulper.
Gulper comming is tricky, it requires a fine balance. The best bet is to make sure that gulper's tank mates cannot be swallowed neither from head nor from tail by any wild stretch of imagination. On the other hand, the tank mates should not be predatory or exhibit territorial aggression to the gulper.
