Black arowana all the way- lei's dont have the awesome finnage that blacks do.

i agree when bigger broad head and most have no barbels so silvers are even better lol
 
they both look good equally.. without a black aro, how u gona compare a lei? only to asians and aussie? CMon now.. they BOTH r nice species! get what you prefer! its the best choice.

true... aros are by far my favorite fish. all species look amazing, but one must eventually get tired of the more common ones like silvers and jars. next move from there would be black or lei, then finally asians(the holy grail) start a community tank and end the debate.
 
I'd say Lei.... even though I've been contemplating getting a black (only bc I have two Lei's right now)
