Giant Malu?

[AkoAung]

I saw these this past weekend, did NOT purchase them - don't have the tank for them!!!

a local LFS had these on sale from a just arrived shipment. Outside of haddonis I've never seen nems this BIGGGG. biggest one look to be about 1.5 feet in diameter. Sorry this is the only pic. If they're still there next time I'm in the area I'll try and get better shots. Are these Malus from what you can tell?

Def not Malu I'm gonna go with ritteri aka magnifica. And a good price

Better picture is needed but I think those are Magnifica. Vey nice ones at that. All the same clone.

Here's the underside of my h-mag when he went on a walk. Looks extremely similar.

I saw PR at the bottom and thought that was for the pair.....

Now I see why you thought Malus got biggger.
Boy, at those prices I'd be all over those healthy mags!

I would have snatched one at that price. Why arent there any deals like that near me.

 

[davocean]

I got mine for $65 but it looks smaller than those, and it is pretty bleached.

yellow 2" malu/aurora 23E => 32$

My mag was $70. Is that so cheap? I remember selling "ritteris" back in the 90's for $35....

I was talking to the guys at the fish section. they think the manager wasn't expecting them to be this BIG either when he ordered them. Usually nems they keep are like anywhere from 3-6" except for carpets which would be at most 12". Apparently these nems have coloured up and are red purple. I'm not that close but may be heading there in a few days and take some pics.

Wow you scored a deal, I see them for $100 and up online, and rarely even see any LFS around us even have them.
