As its name suggests, the Red Head Tapajos has a visually striking red coloration on the head and throat area, adding a nice bit of "bling" in contrast to the rest of its body. Immature Red Tapajos tend to show less coloration and will have five dark parallel, vertical bars which become especially pronounced when stressed.
A relatively peaceful fish, the Geophagus sp. does well in community aquariums with other non-aggressive fish... just give them some hiding spots and a sandy bottom as; they are "earth eaters", sifting mouthfuls of sand to extract food.
They are social fish, so keeping them in groups of 4 or more is encouraged. In captivity they grow to a maximum size of about 6", with the male being the larger.
Water Conditions:
5 - 7.5 pH
70 - 82 F
Breeding: Captive bred on our farm.

Beautiful healthy fish and didn’t rake me across the coals on shipping.
Great fish
Fish are healthy and all were alive. Now for the into the greatcwhite ipen, assimilation into the 332 gallon aquarium with the many assorted species. So far so good. I will do an update review in a few days. Great packaging and smooth transition.
My order of Red Head Tapajos arrived alive and very healthy. Very good quality.
