I was just wondering which one everyone likes better... Every where I read people talk up the Liechi like it's much nicer looking. It may be a bit more rare but I personally like the golden green over the silver of a liechi and I also like the body shape of the jar better (forehead slopes down, a tad more slender bodied then it's cousin.) What does everyone else think. Oh and if you have a jar or a liechi feel free to post some pics... Mines my avatar....
Jardini vs. Leichardti

i prefer the leichardti. i find that as adults leichardti actually has a slimmer built than jardini. anyway the reasons i like it is i like the straighter forehead, the two red spots on each scale, the whitish color (its not really silver like how a silver aro is silver, and i do admit i really like the copper bronze color on some jardini as well), and also the pinkish red color that can develop on the fins as the fish matures. i guess yes in short i do find it nicer looking overall.
Wow a really close race so far....
Yea, I've been reading more about the Leichardti since I posted this thread (I know more about the Jar then the Leichi...) and most descriptions have said that the Leichi is more slender bodied but I've seen a couple picture of very "tall" Leichis. Also Jars still have pink on their scales... each one of my jars scales is caped with a pink crescent moon shape. And I just love jars that have those red squiggly lines on their gill plate!Infblue;881457; said:
moon shaped pink vs pink dots look totally different.
i like the fu man chus on leichardtis.
i like the body shape of the leichardtis
i like the rarety of leichardtis
i like the colors, light color vs dark color on jardini.
jardini looks like a trout or something to me. a lake fish that u fish for, not keep in a tank. some are nice tho, i just prefer lighter color'd fish.
plus i like having tankmates, even tho my lei still kinda chases. i've owned a jar and it does way more then chasing.
