In the near future I want to get a Jar and a Lei to keep in a tank together.They will be bought small of course and hopefully they will grow and tolerate each other.Does anyone have this arrangement already?Thoughts and comments.
 
nope never tried, it mightwork but tank must be big,these 2 are agressive
 
Thanks Hao my coworker has a jar and a silver that he's raised from finger size and they ae now well over a foot.He claims that they have always gotten along.

You need some more fish to distract them, and it may work out. I've done it! :headbang2

From what I can gather, Leis are the less agressive of the two. Jars can be commed, but one of the only true assurances of getting this going is having more Aros in with them.

Yeah I read that the Lei is a less aggressive fish and I wont rule out having more than two and the Osteo's dont really appeal to me but I have been thinking about adding something else:D.

Must be nice to be able to buy australian natives in another country. Cant buy leis here naymore because their status is threatened. Only jardini.

It does blow that you cant by them there but you guys also have the cool Murray Cod which I probably will never see here.
 
It could work if the tank is like 10' x 4' or something like that floorplan. And dither fish like myleus silver dollars...
