Since its yours now, lets do your idea and take the scalpel to it. Or tie some fishing line around it and see what happens. I could set up my 20g for it when its half the size.

That's certainly do-able. It's something I always kind of wanted to try .. but could never do it with mine because I like them too much to risk losing both halves afterwards! Plenty of people over at RC over the years have done it successfully with haddoni. There was a failed attempt with a mertensii although the loss of both halves may have been accidental and not due to the cutting itself .. to my knowledge it hasn't been attempted with gigantea but it is theoretically possible.

A $300 blue carpet though is a heck of specimen to try it on as a first attempt !!

And that right there is the reason I never attempted it. :lol:

Man that thing looks cozy. Be a nice place for a lazy fish to bunk if it wasn't also a killing machine.

Just took some pictures of Big Blue in its new home.
