i'd got with silves. Espeacilly the ones with orange on there fins.
 
if you have a big enough tank, and your jar is peaceful, why not try a silver too? you can always take it back if it doesn't work out

It doesn't matter what size tank it is. The Jardini and silver will end up fighting until one dies. It won't work. The only way it could ever work (it's a possiblity) is if you buy a silver and jardini as babies and raise them together.
 
I think Silver Aros look so much more... graceful? They are also more peaceful, and they have that sleeker, more ancient look to them. To me, a Jardini is just a really ugly and cranky silver. Just my $.02, and I'm sure there are plenty of Jardini fans out there who really love their fish.

The problem here is that if i did buy a Silver,then my 2 Aro's did fight and i had to bring the Silver back i would lose all that money,my local LFS doesnt give money back or credit anymore.:confused:
 
I have a huge silver and a huge jar, I like them equally but for different reasons. It's tough to choose.
 
Here is what i consider the good and bad sides of both fish;the Silver is sleek and gaceful looking,it is also alot more peaceful,but they are vey skittish and will jump on impulse,the Jardini is kinda rare(especially around here)they get a massive build to them when fully gown,they arnt really as skittish and tend not to be so jumpy.But it is very hard to keep them with any tankmates(i am lucky i guess)they can be mean and hornery.I actually like both builds of these 2 Aro's,but i guess i r eally am leaning towards the Jar because they are not so skittish and jumpy so yup i'm keeping my Jar.
 
i would go silver only because a single species tank can get very boring.
and the catfish will most likely end up dead eventually.
I have 6 silvers over 24 inches and they are more interesting to me to watch.
 
i would probably go with a silver, just because mines not skittish
