I have no pictures to show ya but among other differences the jar has a thicker body from top to bottom.The lei is a more slender bodied fish.

Its a jar in the pic. Probably white tank treatment is why its so "white". It'll return to its regular color in a few week. Lei's tend to have red dots going across thier body and there dorsal fin is not as large. I also see that Lei's barbells point sideways instead of forward like most aros. Hope this helps and answers your question. I've heard that white tank treatment is quite common in asia. But this is just what I've heard.

have considered that. we'll see i guess. i honestly don't know the timeline for fish to revert back to normal coloration after that and didn't know if it affected aro's.

Well since those jar's are not in thier white tank's then ill be a matter of weeks before they change back to thier original colors. I dont think it affects the aro, dark tanks makes them darker while white tanks make them lighter. Those are nice aro's tho, bummer there not real plats.
