Show me those Giants!

So I've recently discovered that there are bettas much larger than King bettas. I think they're gorgeous but haven't been able to find lots of picture off google. I'm sure at least one person here owns a Giant. I'd love to see yours and hear about it! I would love to own one someday. They're beautiful fish! :)

My male is 3and a half inches? Does that qualify? If yes, I'l post a pic.

Yes, that's definitely a Giant. :)

This is Sparkey. If you have/seen a betta leaf, he is as long and a little longer than that. In these pictures, he was a little higher than the leaf so he appeared smaller... Sparkeys very sweet and even comes when I call him. He also likes to follow me around the tank and gets excited whenever he sees me. The trick is to get him in a bigger tank. Because they will grow in their environment as much as it allows.

Colosseus is gorgeous! Is it just him and the snail in the 10 gal?
