Has there been any juvenile jardini sold in Perth in the last few years?

Not anywhere in Aus that I'm aware of. It seems the US have them much more readily available and for much cheaper, yet they are a native fish to Australia. I'm puzzled.

Not that I have seen. a few interstate.

 

My understanding is the main original collector was eaten or attacked by a croc so had since stopped collecting and supplying. They aren't bred (well as readily if they are) like the lei's are.

Gorgeous fish though jardinis. if you find some I maybe keen to mate. Closest ill get to an arowana I think :D

I guess it is all personal preference. I have always preferred Leichardti over Jardini. The temperament of the Leichardti is also much more manageable.

Nice big Jardini for sale on gumtree.

 

I like the jardni as the bdy shape and scales remind me more of the asian arowanas.

 

Is there any availabilty to get Jardinis? Maybe a sponsor can comment please (Vebas/Aquotix?)

+1, and the scale lap and barbels are far nicer IMO.

 

I have posted a question on this on an Eastern forum, will report what I here for us Westerns.
