Not that I know of, I bought the female at the fish shop here in town, I don't know the difference between giants and normal.

She is a big girl, but like I said, my fish seem to be very greedy.

They get live mosquito larva, plus these other round squiggly things which curl up and thrust a little appendage to swim, I have no idea what they are, but they live and breed in the water with the mosquito.
They get blood worms, and Betta granules.

All my grown babies were fed blood worm for the first time tonight, they had no idea what the food was Lol, after trying 1 they were fine, but still a bit wary they seem to love their granules, mum eats pellets though.

Oh I see. They just might be giants. Can you take a picture of them with something like a Betta food container next to them or a quarter.

If they are anything past 3 inches, they are giants. Ive seen some giants on AB that were 5.5 inches and the guy was selling them for hundreds of dollars.

Try to measure them. The way most breeders measure their fish is by putting the fish in a bag with the water just covering their head and then taking the ruler to see how long their are. Or yu can just keep them in the tank and make a guess of their size.

Well here is Thor. I saw this CT in walmart and just had to bring him home. He is a multi-color, but I think as he ages his body might change to red. He has a couple of green spots on his side as well. He has a good dark red beard on him.
I am thinking he is a camera hog now. I have been trying to take some good pics to share, my wife thinks I am insane now.

Not giants then, nowhere near 3"

Here is another growing boy, closest colour to his mum, he is a one off in the batch.

I had to put him in a jar to take a pic, he lives in the community tank, looks like he got a nip on his fin I don't have lights on my tanks either.
