How is a leichardti's temperament? Are they peaceful or more aggressive like a jar? How much would one run me from a reputable online seller?

This is a jardini

This is a leichardti

sorry but this is wrong. the 2nd pic is not a lei.
Look closely. It has 5 row of BIG scales. That is an asian arowana.
if fishbase uses it as a photo of a lei then they shud be corrected.

I have seen them for $150, but tough to find at that price. I wouldn't pay more than $200.

nice comparison pics on the last post on 1st page...

imo, jardini definitely looks more 'goldish' while lei looks more 'silverish'
