Charles Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Before it eats... After it ate my cycling 3"+ parrot fish. This gulper catfish is only about 5" long. I honestly did not think becase of the height of the parrot fish and width, it will be able to think it is food. I guess I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerz69 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Wow, So I guess it won't be eating for 2-4 weeks. The second picture looks like it's burping thinking oooh I ate way to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 They are a cool fish. I wish I knew rudy was getting one on the last order I would have tried to borrow some bag space from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firestorm Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 The poor guy, but it doesn't surprise me. I have seen many fish that you would think are way too big be eaten up by my fish. It's sad but it's reality I guess. But holy cow, it looks like it would take a week to digest that thing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think it is going to take a bit longer. It is still fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Mahe Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 gulpers are so sweet, ive seen pics of them eating fish that are the exact same size as them or some even longer, it blows my mind. nice fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceturf Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 hmm... if thats what it looks like after eating something smaller, I bet its a bubble after eating something bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 It has been two days now. The stomach of the gulper seems to get smaller already. It is not full as in you can still see the shape of the fish being eatn. It is more like just round belly full... I am quite surprise of how fast it can digest the food.

Charles Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I will get a picture of mine. It ate a 6 inch malawi peacock. Mine is 4-5 inches at max. They are pretty fun, eh? My gulper catfish is starting a free service for people who doesn't know what to do with their un-wanted fish under 5". They can just bring them here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
