I got this trio of gulpers, presently at ~7", from Raymond Chan in Aug-Sept 2015 at about 3", maybe even 4". They have been very easy for me, easy to feed. They have been growing excruciatingly slowly, tacking on ~3.5" in 16 months.

Has anyone ever grown theirs to their known max of 1' Standard Length or ~14"+ total length? I wonder ow long that could take...


Can see them here in Mar-Apr 2016:

So good 👍🏻

The gulper that had got a botched B1 injection and lost a large patch of skin has been recovering very well:

All 3 gulpers took the full dose of formalin + Malachite Green hard. A lot of slime coming off. Restless. Reddened. They are more sensitive than seemingly all other fish we have. Have done an emergency 100% water change today.
