Well, a lot of you may have seen the 'test' tank I built for my H. Gigas yesterday. Here's the real deal. I was going to use an 85gal but decided to use a 90gal breeder tank instead - it's wider. I think it turned out pretty good...I really like the trickling water from the filter. Let me know what you guys think - thanks!! Rob

Thanks! She seems to be really enjoying it...just found her in the water, just chilling out. She was on the land last night...she's just going back and forth. It's neat to watch...I'll be posting updates and more videos. Hopefully I can get one of her fishing!! Rob

Man... I had no idea there were T's that liked water that much... I had heard they could swim but I thought it was only out of necessity, like trying to escape. I think this might be the next sp. I look into. Thanks for posting all this it totally changed my shopping list ha ha.

And the communal idea... are these different from the pokies, I mean can you just add another one to the tank and they won't eat each other? Or were you talking about starting a new one with some slings? I heard you mention it in one of the videos but you didn't go into much detail. Just curious.

Wow! What an awesome enclosure! It makes me want to get an H. gigas! Are you going to feed her crickets/roaches, or just fish for right now? Please keep us updated on how it all goes.
