Finhead1 Posted August 17, 2016 Just wanted to see if I am correct in the ID on this guy. I believe it's a Teardrop Maxima but wanted confirmation before I purchase, so I can have optimal placement ect. Thanks for any replies. Quote Share this post Link to post
RayWhisperer Posted August 17, 2016 Looks like a maxima to me. A better look at the scutes and shell might give you a 100% ID. But I'm about 99.573% sure it's a maxima. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

RayWhisperer Posted August 25, 2016 Been out of the loop for a while. When did the describe teardrops as a full seperate species? I always thought T. noae was T. maxima sp. noae. A sub species, or geographical variant. Maybe they've been a seperate species all along and I'm just stupid.... Quote Share this post Link to post
