Been tempted several times to give my 180g to a single Jardinii.

Has anyone else noticed that Jar's and Asians seem to have a higher body than Silvers and Blacks.

Or is this just an optical illusion do to the body shape?
 
I definitely agree. Proportionatly, my jar is MUCH thicker than my silver...as well as taller.

That's one of the main reasons why I think Jars need to get into bigger tanks sooner than silvers do..they lose a lot of their flexability when they gain all that girth. My Jar is like a tank when he's swimming around...won't even get out of the way of filter intakes...just smashes them off. :irked:
 
I would say that it is one of the most noticeable traits and distinctions between aussies and asians, on the one hand, and south-americans on the other...

And Kenyan , is that you on the avatar pix? Lovely pix!!!!
