  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I too would go leichardti. I have seen tons of jars. But I have only seen 2 lei's in person. And one is in my tank :)
 
Is your lei in a community tank curently, and when you bought him was he in a community tank?

You wont regret it! Good luck finding one, they are much more rare than jardinis and MUCH more expensive in Hawaii. I've owned around 5 or so jar's that either jumped or I sold/gave away (friends, uncle, family, and even a uncle with a display tank in his bar), but only one lei. That lei was much nicer (in color, shape, and personality) than any of the jars that i've had. People who saw it complimented it as the nicest jardini/arowana they ever saw! lol! :) The body and fin coloration was beautiful. Looking at some of the pic's on the net of lei's, I see some with kind of a goofy bullet shaped head, but mine's wasn't as round. His head didn't slope downwards to the nose... Kinda stayed straight like a jar but not really spoonheaded. Miss him.:(

I have always seen at least one every 2 years and I've seen its coloration its personally beautiful. I never had the cash to get one now that im older I can finally get one I remember when liliha tropical had a shoal of babies in their tank. Can't wait to find one :)

I'll let you know if I spot any when I make some pet store runs around the island. Liliha tropical has gone way downhill from when they first started. They use to bring in some cool and exotic fish (some really nice flowerhorns too). Now the store is kinda dead, nothing new or interesting. Don't think they'll last much longer. Post some pics of your aro if you find one. :)
