i think they are very similar looking to asians but the color is drab and the
scales are so much smaller.

TIkarmann - where did you see this? at a lfs??

yeh the jar was io a 8x4 tank in a LFS

the barbels were a mess like i find with all jars they are never straight and nice like other aros
 
wonder why thats the case? i noticed jar barbels are thinner than asians.
Or maybe they just dont give the extra attention to jardinis as compared to scleropages.

Really?? I was just there and im pretty sure i didnt see one. They had one 3ft silver and a couple of small blacks... maybe i missed it. Would have liked to see that.

That is true. I always see them with broken barbels.

Not so much leichardti though.

Isnt this a bit puzzling? Jardini arowanas are one of the common aros
but we hardly see them go past 15 inches. Everyone and their moms have seen
24 inche silvers though.
 
I saw one in a display tank at a LFS it was about 18" but I agree I have never seen one much bigger than that.
 
Iv seen two at about 3ft in a local public Aquarium and they are the best two i have ever seen not fat or bent, but they were in a masive Aquarium.
