Thank you, I was starting to think he was a Jar too, does anyone know 100% though? Ill post some more pictures soon :) He has grown a fair bit! Even if he is a Jar, I have hopes as he is showing very little aggression.

Leichardti's have very faint (if any) spots on tail/anal fin and have a pinkish highlight on each scale. Also, leis have a more silver body, whereas jars are darker around the top.
 
i'm sure hoping that you are planning to upgrade....Nice fish BTW.

Thanks heaps, Yeah it is confirmed then, I have a Jar (hope all ends out well with him, I've herd they can be pretty aggressive, but he's showing little signs of aggression so fingers crossed!) Just as he's getting bigger, his colours got darker and his reds are brighter.

I am soonish, guessing 2-3 months. Planning on a 6x3x2.5h, aswell as running this tank. Hoping that can house them for awhile, planning on eventually re-homing Murray, and am hoping to get a AUL in the future :)
