So just saw these two 4” arowanas at my lfs. Just wondering if i’m correct to say that this is a jardini (dark color, reddish/green sheen):13639831363986
and this one is a lei (light, silver green sheen):

Also, are jardinis compatible to house with some peacock bass?

Hard to say when small. I'd say both are jars honestly, my reasoning is jars can be light colored and have a green sheen and the fins on it are fairly dark like most jars. But depending on the tank you can see leis with dark fins as well. Leis get red as well. Top one is definitely a jar. Most likely they got them from The same place.
 
I like Jardine's to I like to have one with my pecock bass to but they are to mean if I got one I would have it in a tank by its self you could get a silver aro to with the peacock bass.

Both are jardinis. 2nd piece looks slightly smaller than the 1st piece.
I've seen jardini kept with bass before. As for compatibility, it will depend on the fish itself.
