Gorgeous!!! If I could get more $35 nems like that I'd already have built a new display tank by now to house them all.

No kidding, I’ve contacted them to see if they have anymore gigantea they’ve misidentified. Maybe I can get a bunch…….hmmm….then I might need another tank….

I haunt my local Petco stores hoping for this to happen, but they usually get it mixed up the other way around. :rolleyes:

BTW I got excited and forgot to say - congrats on the new nem!!!

I am on my phone, but that does not look like a haddoni. It looks more like a Mertensii. The verrucae on the underside of the foot appears to be a mertenssi as well.

It could also be a gig, but again, on phone and old eyes with a cracked screen is no good lol.

@Lost in the Sauce @OrionN @F i s h y thoughts?

It is a Gigantea, it was mislabeled as a Haddoni, thus the excitement. :)

See, old eyes, broken screen on phone, is not a good thing lol. I see the quotes over haddoni now lol.

That is a score for sure.

Gotta remember that Gramps is old. Like Really old. The kind where you wonder how he's not petrified at this point old..

It is a Gigantea. Mertensii have much more veracuae. Also a green Mertensii would worth many thousands. Much more so than a green Gigantea.
