Newbe here with the rays, have had motoros, but can anyone tell me the difference between the leopoldi and henlie ray? As for as easy to care for and aggression with other fish like arrownas, catfish etc. All I know is that they both are black with white dots, if this correct. Wanted a leopoldio fro so long, but can get a henlei a little cheaper to cure my craving for that black and white polk a dot look, which looks more exotic than my motoro..
 
meaning not as black as the leo? Is the hen a true black and white look? From the pic I have seen it looks almost dark brown.
 
henlei are typically lighter in color, sometimes competely brown with tan spots. the spots are not pure white and are usually a couple tan/beige colors in them. i believe henlei get bigger as well compared to leopoldi's.
 
Thanks I have unitl tomorrow to make my decision, but I really want that black and white polk a dot look.
 
henleis can sometimes far surpass leos in my opinion, but then others can look rubbish, if they are descent ones go for the cheaper henlei.
 
I feel large spot hens are much nicer than leos because hens spots don't disappear when they grow up.
