If you're looking for something rare, unusual and damn cool, we've got something for you! Astereophysus Batrachus, AKA the driftwood gulper catfish, stays relatively small (max size around 10-11 inches) but they have the incredible ability to swallow food up to twice their size. As you'll see from the video below, watching them eat is truly a sight.

Size: 5+ inches
Price: $100 ea. or 3 for $250
Currently eating: Market prawn and massivore
Shipping available across Canada via West Jet.
These are one of the hardiest, most unique catfish and are rarely available in the hobby.
Note: While several can be housed in one tank with no issue, care does need to be taken when housing with any other tankmates. To ensure the safety of your tankmates, it's recommended that they be atleast twice the size of the gulper.
