Gigantea

Just wanted to share my collection of gigs i have collected so far. It took alot of work getting these guys quarantined/conditioned and treated. I have had my share of failures but here are the ones who did well and appear to be stable. Green seems to be the hardest color to find for me

blue/purple one

Multicolored tan

Large purple

Small purple

True blue

I had a green one from Coral Anonymous - arrived sick and I couldn’t keep it past 2 weeks. It died 2 days ago while I tried treating with Cipro. I’m done with gigs though - moving on.

Wishing you guys much success!

Qt and treat when you get them regardless of how they look. Best of luck if you try again

Thanks — ooh I’m taking a loooong break. Perhaps try again in 2 more decades?

I’m going back to SPS - way easier! lol

I definitely get the frustration, large carpets can be a pain

Absolute favorite thing in the hobby! Jealous of your blue gig. Trying to find one of those. Here’s my green girl making a bed for the happy true wild percs. Just picked up a small purple and trying to find a blue too.

Those two green ones you guys have/had are amazing, feel free to post pics of your small purple one. Is it going with your green one? Green is the best color imo, very envious. The blue and purple just dont pop under blue light like the greens and i like my tanks windex blue haha

ktran ive seen your green one at alis with his blue one. My favorite thing at his shop

Be sure to post pics when you get one, once you get them acclimated they are pretty hardy.
