Description
Red Head Tapajos (Geophagus pyrocephalus) - 3-4" Unsexed. Remarks : Possibly one of the most beautifully colored Geophagus known in the hobby, the red head Tapajos has certainly made its mark on the hobby. It was first collected from the Rio Tapajos by German aquarists Christop Seidel and Rainer Harnoss in the early 1990s after which it became a highly desired import. As it was not described and given a scientific name until 2022, the red head Tapajos was typically imported and referred to as Geophagus sp. 'Rio Tapajos' or Geophagus sp. 'Red Head'. These temporary placeholder names are in reference to the native range of these beautiful eartheaters as well as the bright orange/red heads that mature fish develop. Both males and females show this coloration, but it is more intense in males. Males will also grow elegant streamers on the tips of thei. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
