i love my lei, and wouldn't trade him for the world. when they get bigger they turn really red. closest thing to asian aro u can get legally in the states. guys in aussie like jars, guys in the states/every other country usually like lei's. some people like jars for specific reasons i can't find. i jus hate the temperment, solitary fish imo are just a waste of a tank.
my lei loves his tankmates, dats, loaches, bichirs. lei would be my choice.
