If I bought a couple 6"+
Gulper Cats how long would it take to get him to the 8"+ mark?
Anyone have any photos to share of 10"+ Gulpers living well in an aquarium...

I'd plan for 1-2 years. More so 2.

There seems to be no active member with a larger gulper. IDK if Koltsixx' gulper is still around. It'd be the only older gulper I know of, around 6-8 years? But Kolt has not posted in a long time.

My lone survivor is 4 years old but it never comes out from under the Trachy trachy pile to show itself anymore. I've not seen it out in over 6 months now, only its muzzle. IDK its current size. It was around 8"-9" before.

It seems exceedingly rare to see anyone keep their gulper long term and raise them to a larger size. My impression 99.99% of all "look y'all I got me a gulper" threads, go nowhere after that or soon thereafter. :( :( :(
