So...You want to get a gulper catfish...

If I remember correctly Viktor, thebiggerthebetter, has kept them together and he has read account of bigger ones grabbing or “mouthing” smaller ones or even same size ones but immediately letting go. I would compare it to going for food but then realizing the fish is not good and is a fellow comrade.
Yeah gulpers are not cannibalistic, I’m going to try and breed them In my 50 gallon tank soon! I’m going to add a storyline of it when I get the other one. I’ve learned a lot considering it’s rarely done. Here’s what I’ve learned:
feed black worms encourages breeding
have a gravel filter and always have clean substrate
slate rock is important, I believe for spawning
LOTS of coverage
PH below 7, slowly lower it if it’s not under 7
imitate rain to encourage breeding
last of all LUCK, luck is very important as you may not have a pair that wants to breed or maturity difference.

I still think a 50 gallon is not big enough for more than 1 gulper but do not let me discourage me but do acknowledge the fact that they are very much likely to not breed any time soon.
The only thing is.... gulpers are VERY lazy and I feel like mine doesn’t know what the other side of the tank looks like??
I have no experience with treating stuff really so I would make a thread about it in the disease section and take several good pictures.
