How big is it? Looks to be less than 6"?

IME the smaller gigs respond better to treatment. They can ball up like in the second photo, and I think this helps them to expel waste. My smaller gigs did this when in treatment, but my larger ones did not.

Thanks
It's looking great today to my surprise. I was concerned about lack of progress on Monday. This nem is about 4.5-5.5 inches in size. I'll dose Cipro tonight again to make it an 8 day treatment to make sure the strongest of the bacteria has no chance of surviving.

Hope it continues looking good. I haven’t had much luck with them once they started balling up like that. Looks pretty perfect in today’s pic though so who knows. These things are tough to figure out sometimes. I’ve had some that I thought looked flawless on arrival and then turn to crap and then others that looked near death out of the box end up coming through perfect.

Is it spitting out any pellets?

It is spitting out some pellets and balled up again a little.
I put in DT instead of dosing extra Cipro. At this point I figured stability might help it more. 7 days of antibiotics isn’t a walk in the park for these animals. When my dog gets a UTI our vet puts her on only a 5 day treatment. Same with Maracyn 2 for fishes...5 days.
If not, it will have been worth a try at least.

Mine handled treatment very well. The first day was the only time it didn't look great. It shrank down a bit on day one but never fully deflated. Not much waste expelled after day 3. Only thing I did different with this one was use sunlight instead of my Kessil(couldn't find Kessil),Added to DT last night.

Looks nice!
What Kessil model do you have?
To be honest I don’t like Kessil A360w for QT. Their A80 light is way more suitable for it.

It's one of the older models. Can't remember the model #(or where I put it) but think it was a 150 watt Ocean Blue.

Mine is still acclimating. Here it is this morning:

Looks like you may be in the clear. Tentacle length seems pretty good for a new arrival.

4 days post Cipro treatment. Still acclimating but looking better than in the previous video.
