3" Gulper eats 8" Leichartdi Arowana, or Gulper thine name is Lucifer

Nah the Gulpers are bein moved to a tank for themselves. They should be fine in a 55 gallon seein as they only get 11" and aren't big time swimmers. Plus the 55 was just sittin around useless. An no matter how good a predator the Gulper is they'll find it impossible to eat those other fish from the other side of the room in a seperate tank.

Wow, that pic of the gulper is nuts. Looks like hes got an anvil in his stomach! Sorry man, but just wondering, did you see the attack, or just come in and see the gulper with a full stomach?

Nah I came home to that fat Gulper. Funny thing is it was like he knew he did something bad. Usually when I approach the tank the Gulpers head for the surface lookin for me to feed them. This time though he made a bee line for the back of the tank while the other headed for the surface lookin for food. I did a head count of all my cats first. It didn't occur to me to look for the Aro I had just got him so I wasn't even used to him. It's after I sat down at my computer desk and glanced at the tank that I remembered the Aro. My tank always looks empty and I was so happy to see my Aro swimmin around when I glanced it's way. That's what made me remember the tank seemed empty again. That's when it clicked. I don't usually get so worked up but I got so mad that I nearly broke my hand punchin my wall(not a good idea! especially livin in a apartment with thick concrete walls). Anyway I truly learned my lesson an will be more careful about choosing tankmates in the future.

[asder112]

wow - sorry for your loss ... but that makes me want to get a gulper so bad now

 

[ChiroHorn]

Crazy pics. Sucks though. It looks bigger than 3" to me too. That's the length of a business card!

 

[BaTsBR]

damn
sorry for your loss

i bet you gave the name after what happens

 

[koltsixx]

Yep the Gulpers were nameless till then. Right now the only ones wit names are Lucy(Gulper) and Lil Kahuna(Stingray). Lil Kahuna was named since he always rides the current out of the powerhead. Surfinthe waves you know. Posted a pic of him doin that in the Stingray forum some time ago.
