they look different. A jardini looks like a jardini, and a leichardti looks different from a leichardti.

[thefishofdoom]

is there somthing like a scale count or somthing?

[rumblesushi]

I don't think so but IMO they look significantly different. Type jardini or leichardti into google, or even into the search here on MFK and you'll see.

Jardini's have a more angled face and head, leichardti's have a softer looking face. Jardini's have pink spots on the tail and usually a slightly darker complexion as adults. Leichardtis have different patterns on the scales.

People seem to rate leichardtis highly, but I think a jardini looks better.

A leichardti's body shape appears more elongate due to not growing to a deep body shape as with jardini's and formosus'. And, even though it's dead, here's a pic to show the pink-dot pattern in the leichardtis:

A jardini is much more aggressive, too.

Oddball, what happened to that leichardti?

The differences are very easy to tell. It can be difficult when they a juvie though.

Have a look at this one, he is 12 inches. It looks a lot different to a jardini.

jardini's have those whiskers comin of the bottom of their mouth in a v shape where as leicharti come straight out! also jardini's are more aggressive...

maybe the reason for that is jardinis are very common while leichardti is more rare . that is why the latter is a much sought after fish here in our country .

I'll tell you straight up.

A 30 inch leichardti is far more impressive than a 20 inch Jardini :thumbsup:

[Fry]

Nice aro steve! Do you find yours to be more skittish compared to a jardini?

[Opiate]

leicharti's whiskers point straight out where as jardini's are bent to the sides and jardini's have a more aggressive nature...

[Steve_89]

:iagree: :iagree: :iagree:

No not really, they are still very skittish though.
