    Leichardti or Jardini? And with peacock bass?

    So just saw these two 4” arowanas at my lfs. Just wondering if i’m correct to say that this is a jardini (dark color, reddish/green sheen): and this one is a lei (light, silver green sheen): Also, are jardinis compatible to house with some peacock bass?
