Just wondering how many different "types" of amaira there are and do certain ones get larger than others. I am just asking because I saw on Wes' fish listing the suriname aimara get to 4ft. I knew some aimara get that large but was curious if its only specific ones from certain regions.
Amaira Variety

They all have the ability to get 4ft. Given the space and years. Used as food so may not reach the potential size due to over use.
Common variants/catch locations are: Venezuela,Amapa,suriname, and tapajos.
Other catch locations are:sinnimary,trombetas,Jari,xingu,tocantis,corani, and araguari.
So any wolf caught in these areas with an interesting color will and become a variant.
Recently added was sp cayenne that greenerinks showed from a memeber in Asia somewhere. Had some nice speckling.
Anyways just some thoughts. Like to hear what other members think.

Pretty much agree, only thing I will say is tapajos isn't common AFAIK. They do get them over seas so I hear, but not so frequent. I was also under the impression different variants can get to different sizes due to wes being very knowledgeable and stating it, and it makes sense, plenty of fish and animals in general tend to have different adaptations in different areas whether it be color, size, or another feature, I'm sure it can be more than one. So I wouldn't doubt size differences between variants, but as far as that goes we can't say for sure as in the states amapa and Venezuelan have been the only two commonly kept and now suriname is being brought in by wes. Hopefully those who purchased them will keep them long enough and post enough to share with us their findings.
All aimaras can grow to about 4ft at the minimum with exceptional specimens that probably just starting getting to be as girthy as a torso rather than someone's thigh. From my own tastes, I really like the red tapajos and cayenne variants as their colorway and patterns are striking and of course their rarity. You can't really go wrong with any of them if you are set on housing a monster.
Well genetics does play a role, but so can variants because they have to adapt to different environments so one can adapt to be larger so it isn't predated on by another species that isn't in the other variants location. Agree with green, tapajos has always been holy grail of wolves to me but would cost a fortune to even get here. I've not seen this cayenne variant however, so

Wait, was it the one that looked like a curupira coloration wise kind of?
