Some New Videos Of My Fish Feeding...

[Abyss]

Need to feed in the dark to stop all those stupid reflections. Sorry about quality, it looks a bit poor...

But I like to share so:

Nice looking fish - How big do them guys get? And what tank are they kept in?

 

[Abyss]

Thanks.

They only get to approx 12".

They are in a 390L ND Aquatics tank but can be kept in much smaller tanks due to their sedentary nature.

These are getting pretty ravenous now!

You need to take some stuff out of that tank to give them room to swim

And all the other fish are potential food it's a bit cruel how would you like to be shut in a room with 2 man eating crocs as that's how it must feel for the other fish

The gulpers look great just need more room and remove the fish buffet

LOL!

You obviously know nothing about Gulpers.

You obviously know nothing about Gulpers.

well someone seems confused

everything i've ever read about them says don't keep them with anything less than twice their size unless you want it to become lunch

might not happen in week 1 of them sharing a tank or even in 6 months, but eventually something is very likely to get swallowed

there's plenty on youtube if you look for it

Don't really think you have the right or knowledge to call me confused.

You mention 'everything you have ever read' - well I ACTUALLY KEEP THEM, I do a little more than 'read'.

So I think I would know a little better to be fair.

Also, would love to see some genuine literature on them rather than people rambling on in the likes of PlanetCatfish without actually keeping these fish and having experience of their behaviour.

ps. just under 1 year with no swallowings, but of course, this is a long way from 'eventually'. In fact, gonna have to get rid of some of the small uns due to excessive breeding.

AND...If you can show me a large Gulper eating a tiny fish on Youtube, go for it!
