Is this a natural color in a gigantea?

Yes , your are right. It is a bit flattened. When you touch it has a strong reaction and turns to a fantastic shape. I think this is a good thing

Today he was deflated for about eight hours, later recovered

This a photo I took from the IP cam, this morning:



He was expeling zooxhantellae. I have lowered the power of the led light

But during the afternoon and evening he got better:






Mouth is a bit open




Anyway I think he can deflate again. Today is the third day under treatment

After one week of treatment and back to QT, no deflation happened again

I wil place him in DT in a spot reserved arranging the rocks around. You can see in the attached video

I placed the nem in DT three days ago. Since then he has deflated everyday. I am not sure if I should transfer him to HT for a second treatment or wait to see if he can recover

I do not mind about a second treatment but I am concerned because I do not know what is better: to wait or to treat again.

These pictures shown the nem in DT during the last three days

















¿any advice , experiences?

Thanks!

I would bring him back out and treat him again. The sooner the better. Consider change med to Septra. If you don't treat him, he will not make it.
If you treat him, it does not mean that he will make it but it is the only chance he have.

Ok Minh, thanks a lot! I will arrange the HT tonight

I do not have access to septra but I do have cloranfenicol. Maybe I will try to mix cypro and cloranfenicol toghether. ¿what do you think?

Thanks

 

[beuchat]

I have placed the nem in HT with a mix of 50 mg/litre of cloranfenicol and 12 mg/litre of cypro. He is attatched to a rock but starting to detacht

any update on this?

 

[j_mazzy]

update, and the flow was too direct?

 

[beuchat]

The nem did not survive :sad2: . For me he was looking very nice in the LFS

 

[j_mazzy]

I am sorry for your loss

That sucks. I've given up on gigs for now unless I find one that's been in captivity for a while. I've lost two even with treating. I went with a Magnifica for my perculas now. I like them almost as much as gigs and they seem much easier to get past the initial infection stage.
