The Gulper Mafia (My 5 Gulpers)

I have been wanting a few of these myself for a long time, any way we could get a feeding video of the group?
Haha my gulpers do the exact same bowling thing. One also likes dive into the current then dive out behind a rock in a constant circular loop, even when another gulpers comes over to investigate the looping gulper just crashes through them so it can continue the loop. They are seemingly goofy and clumsy but when it comes to striking food they don't mess around.
How have you sexed your gulpers? Any pics showing how?

Here is the info about sexing them...
"These catfish are sexually dimorphic. When mature, males will have the first few rays of their anal fin fused together to form an organ used to internally fertilize the female. PlanetCatfish calls it a urinogenital organ. Female gulpers do not develop this."
I'll try to take a few pictures to show the difference
lol yea they are a lot of fun to watch, they definitely have a lot of personality
Taken from PFK since I'm to lazy to write it myself
"The fish is an internal fertiliser and can be sexed by looking at the first ray of the anal fin of which on mature males is formed into a urinogenital organ"
