He did not come to my tank looking like that. It was a lot of hard work on my part to get him healthy. My Petco is not any better or worst than the average Petco.

I thought I would keep this thread alive. Its the same Gig in both pictures. It was bleached with a tint of yellow on the tips of the tentacle's about 4 months ago. I never put it through treatment and it has colored up to what you see now. I purchased this from a fellow reefer who's tank was too small. The smaller Gig you see on top in one of the pictures was a Petco Gig that also didn't go through treatment. Prior to this I have gone through multiple Gig's with no success even with treatment. All lasted about 2 weeks and died. I have a lot of hope for these two.

Here is one of my green Gig

Beautiful stuff guys. Nice Nem Orion.

MY 24"+ Gigantea. These are some older pics, but she's still going. I've had it for about 7 years now I think. That 10 year old female maroon is a good 6" long.

here it is in a 40 Breeder a coupl eyears ago:

Not to be the tang police, but it appears you have a paired 6" female maroon and a yellow tang which looks almost as large in a 50gallon aquarium? How is that working out for you?

Thought I would jump start this thread by posting a pic of my new Gig nothing special but a nice size and healthy, wish i was in the US able to get them so cheap especially coloured ones. This photo was taken about 30 mins after being put into the tank.

Haha. Thanks. You have some beautiful gigs that need to be updated here too. I have reef1589's green, and ptr13's gigs, both I think posted in this thread a few years ago. I wonder how many of the gigs in this thread are still alive today.

OrionN · 08/25/2016, 06:27 PM

I still got all of mine

What is going on with them. Are they still keeping reef?

ptr13 all his tanks are dry. He still has them, but no water inside. He's spent the last couple years doing iron man and triathlons. Most his time is running and biking and swimming. He's doing well otherwise.
Robbie I'm not sure about.

Jmtgems · 08/29/2016, 02:41 PM

I love this thread gigs are my favorite nem can't wait until I find one to add to my system

Robbie is doing well. He had a tank crash after moving. He‘s thinking about maybe going bigger. I
