Petco Gigantea

[OrionN]

Guess what I just got from Petco a few hrs ago. Both go straight to Cipro treatment tank

Nice... you have all the luck.. LOL...

Or is it torment?

 

[OrionN]

These two anemones are really nice. They are not as healthy as my last three but one is green, fairly dark green tipped while the other one is white tipped with just a hint of light green but the oral plate and the lower part of the tentacles are green

Nice! When Peter first got my 2 blues, one had white tips, one didn't. Now, neither have white tips now-just solid color.

Are you close enough to the ocean to just fence off an area and claim it???

 

[worm5406]

But his water is too cold!

 

[OrionN]

I used to live on the Corpus Christi Bay but not anymore. Not suitable for reef tank. Thje water there, with run off is full of nutrients. Some of my friend and I pump water from the Gulf of Mexico to use for our tank.

After 6 hrs or so in the HT, with Cipro, the two anemones look a lot better. Will update with picture tomorrow.

 

[OrionN]

Update today. About the only good thing I can say is that the anemones are improving and they have not deflated yet. This. IMO, mean that they are doign well, however they still do not look healthy to me. This is certainly understandable, not in the HT for 24 hrs yet.

 

[worm5406]

LOL... Trying to push each other out huh?

 

[OrionN]

I got 2 mugs, one for each, but they like to be cozy.

 

[worm5406]

Yeah they do seem to share. Must be the caffeine too. The other might be the decaf cup.

 

[D-Nak]

So how many gigs are you up to now? 30? :lol:

 

[deangelr]

^^^^

I was also curious here.. ;-)

 

[Overboard]

Another great find! You have all the luck!

 

[OrionN]

So how many gigs are you up to now? 30? :lol:

I got 5 Giganteas 2 Haddoni and a Magnifica that is not doing well.
Now two more Gigantea. The green one deflated today. The white one does not look too well but have not deflated.
Will see.

 

[OrionN]

Picture tonight. They do look better tonight than they did last night.

 

[worm5406]

They do look nice!!

 

[five oh]

My Petco has 3 in stock. I think they wanted $60 each. They are a brownish and slightly green.

I also scored a sebae at petco that was a total rescue.

 

[OrionN]

The anemone have not change much from the last pictures. No pooping and no deflation. They will not become "healthy" until I get them to DT next week and start to feed them. I do think that their infection are well under control.

Those guys look great for fresh arrivals... can we see a pic of the original petco gigs? Last one I remember they had turned into beasts!
