What kind of Arowana is this

[zerojquan85]

Maybe its too young to tell. but i dont think its a Leichardti.. Lei have barbel... this one doesn't.. the only arowana to not have barbel is the African Arowana..

So.. i'm gonna have to go with African..

Africans have a very distinct head profile. Definitely not African

I'm thinking Lei. I wonder why it's missing it's barbels?

Right definetly not African. I don't know if it is lei or jar but it is one of the two. The barbels could be missing as a result of improper handling by a LFS employee or supplier.

you are wrong. Lei's barely have barbels as well. and that is most definitely a Leichardti no doubt

funny how sometimes things come back to hunt you.. well in this case not hunt...
I did a google search on Leichardti and found this paticular thread...

Yes.. (to those who kept saying Lei while i said african) .... That is a Lei arowana...

Why? Well.. i had this to compare today..

That's right.. its a Baby Jardini at 2" I picked him up today... although whats weird is that mine is golden.. never seen this color on Jardini before.. maybe in time it will turn like typical Jardini color???

What is barbell?

 

[zerojquan85]

Long Hornlike extensions on arowanas Not all have them.. African doesn't..

As for their functions.. No idea.. but maybe use for temperature detection???
