I am getting ready to score a rare find soon. I believe I am in line to get a 4-5 inch Blue squamie. I probably shouldn't say it outloud, I wouldn't want to jinx it.

Nice maxima. I've been eyeing a 4 inch gold max at the local shop. But I have to save my money for the blue squammie.

Here is a top view of my Gigas and Maxima. They might not be as rare but I had to post them up.

Thanks guys. I have had the Maxima for just over a year and the Gigas for about 7 months. When I got the maxima he was barley 3" and now he is approaching 5.5"! The Gigas was the same size as the Maxima when I bought it(almost 3.5") and now it is 6.5". You can definatly tell its a Gigas.

The Ultra-Blue Maxima is gorgeous. Do you have any side-view shots of it?
