Shanoz Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'd say Tapajo's bud! [MENTION=5428]ozmo[/MENTION] would be the man to properly answer that though! GL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmo Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I agree with Shanoz. IMO, based on the colouring in this photo, the one in the foreground is a female Tapajos Orange Head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myster619 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Good to know . How do you tell the difference simply put? What about the one on top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickkyjr Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I would go with tapajos. From what I have seen, and my thoughts on tapajos v araguia. Tapajos have more of an lighter orange on there head and it wraps around to there cheeks. Where as the araguia only have orange on the top of the head to the nose. And are more of a read. Also there was a theory that tapajos had orange coloring in between the gap from the dorsal to the tail fin. Im pretty sure chuong and ryan put a bit of work into the differences of these fish. And I think it was found out that no orange heads have been found in the araguia? Correct me if im wrong. Just going off the top of my head.

ozmo Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I could be wrong but from what I've seen and read here's my understanding of my various 'orange heads' ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozmo Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Are the twos in the pictures both males? Yes, both sp. are male. Between them they actually cause most of the trouble (as much as geos can) in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozmo Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) I should also add that the photos of my tapajos are not all of the same fish. However, the photos of the araguaia are. EDIT: The tapajos in the third picture is not the same fish as the other tapajos pictured. Edited July 3, 2013 by ozmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozmo Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah they do take a while to colour up but when they do it seems to happen all at once. Glad to hear your lot are doing well Shanoz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
