first one is beautiful, the other two look like they are recovering from a bleaching. Wish i checked my email... cant wait to see who got em.
 
I told a friend that I am looking for a Blue Gig. He wanted a Purple Gig. We make a pack that we are going to go for the ones on today. I was in a meeting so I could not log on to buy it. He has lighting fingers so he got the blue one for me but missed out on the purple. I think I will get it Thursday. Will keep you guys update.
 
I just went for the blue for Minh. I am too broke to buy a purple today. I just bought a truck. Turns out the nice blue will be making a trip down to Corpus Christi, TX though..

:-)

Good luck with him Minh.

Similar story Minh,

I always wanted a purple and a friend got me one of those 2 purples that were on DD today.
Will report with pictures.

Way to go guys! Smooth move. Really nice looking Gigs, especially that blue one. Glad to hear its going to a great home.

Watch the site tomorrow. It seems like LA often goes 2 or 3 days in a row with rare or desirable species. Especially true with fish. Maybe another couple of Gigs will show up.

Either one of the purples is nice. First gig is healthiest. Second one has nice tentacle extension. Third is the prettiest IMO, but I love that color blue and blue period. My favorite color.

Keep us updated. Do you know which purple he snagged?

He got the second purple one.

IMO, the second purple is a little bleach but it appears be more healthy.
 
I scored the first purple. Couldn't decide between it or the blue...
I thought the purple had a little more color. But I knew there wouldn't be much time to decide. So I went for it.

I'll post pics when it arrives. I'm relying on you folks for help!
I'll set up my quarantine tank tomorrow. I have cipro on hand. Any other advice?

I would get some trim/sulfa also. I plan to use trim/sulfa first if needed
 
I love the blue one that I am going to get. Thanks Jared.

Your welcome!

It's was hard to let it go. Ha Ha...

I've been wanting that particular blue for a long time. There will be more though.

I can't wait to see him fully extended and enjoying some high flow. He's gonna be pretty!
