You could get lucky, but in my experience Lei can be as aggressive or more aggressive than Jardini. Which means he will definitely not like the silver aro and will smash your smaller cichlids.
Just like Jars they reach that "special age" where everything becomes the enemy. My advice is no. How big is your tank.... you got alot of potentially big fish in there.
lei's will not work with a silver aro, or gar, or the puffer. i have mine with peacock bass, tsn, bichirs. but he has been with them since he was 2". occassionally he throws a few snips to the other tankmates but not to often or torturing like jardinis do. but there are some cases where lei's are pretty darn agressive. so its hit or miss
oh i've heard of leichardti's aggression b4... my fren used 2 haf a saratoga in a 6' x 3' x 3'(custom made) he wuz in wif 2 oscars, 1 fire eel, 2 PBs, 2 Barramundis... he came home 1 day and found half his fire eel, 1 dead Oscar and the 2 Pbass were whooped bad wif torn fins and the Barramundi's refusing 2 come out of their hiding corner... so i dunno... but good luck wif uR community though...
try it, if it dont work jus get rid of the silver and gar. mines fine with certain fish, but silvers or silvery looking fish draw his attention
dude...it should be fine!! jars are the most agro of the aro world where as lei's arn't really that bad..however all fish have there moments and with it's potential size it may cause headaches down the track...u might just have to watch for ur silver...all i can say u'll need a monster tank...
