Understood. All's good.

Both are the same.

Its called Jardini by some Australian by others and in India its called Pearl.

Experts please correct me if I am wrong.

There are two aro species in Australia, Scleropages Jardini ( Jardini ) and Scleropages Leichardti ( Lei or Leichardti ). Jar's are quitre easy to find; Lei's are very difficult to find.

If you post a pix we will try to tell....

When people say "Australian Arowana" it could be either Scleropages jardinii or S. leichardti, but mostly it is S. jardinii.

If you could post a picture it'll be really helpful.

Correct It's funny here in Australia. A lot of people around the world can correctly name and identify these 2 but most people in Australia seem to only know them as Saratoga or Toga and have no idea there is 2 different types.If I told most here my Jar was an Arowana that would throw them even more

That would be fun to watch...........
But I have always seen that whatever is local doesnot not get its due respect.

Green Terra - I agree. People here dont even consider Sartogas to be arowanas. They only consider asians and silver the real deal.
