Red Headed Tapajos

Anyone else keep them? I got some on a trade, they are pretty cool fish. I even have some guppies, an a betta in the tank with them, an they have no aggressiveness to them, just a little bickering amung themselves.

I got ten in a 30gal with rocks and driftwood. They stay in a school...is this typical behavior? I really can't find much info anywhere on them.

well i didint have enough for them to school so i dont really know....if its not typical behavior though maybe their stressed? i doubt it though...how long have they been in the tank?

a week, they don't show stress, eat like little pigs, an follow me from one side of the tank to the other. They are only 1-2 inches, an just starting to show red dorsal. I can't even find a full grown size/color comparison photo....these guys have like NO info.......

I wonder if I should keep all 10, or sell a few?

[mark razmandi]

well if you do sell them to me lol i miss em they are gorgeous fish....i have red hump heads right now but they are not nearly as gorgeous as these

[lilmissruffcountry]

mine are colored more like these, then the lighter tone, but that could be cause they are young, an in a black sand bottomed tank.

simply gorgeous...man i want some. where did you get them at? I LOVE ME SOME GEOS lol

[lilmissruffcountry]

Traded some of my plecos for them, I know she said she would have a few more in a couple weeks, she sells them for like $8 each I think is what she said. If you want some, I can see if she wants anymore of my plecos, an we can go from there. Or I can see if she will sell a few more, she might give me a deal on them....how many do you think you would want?

[mark razmandi]
