As Fishrmann2 did in referring to it as a Xingu, your Alto Tocantins reference is simply a collection locale, not a species name.
The A. crassipinnis is a true species closely related to A. ocellatus, it is not a strain per se.
The A.orbicularis is still debated as to whether or not it is a actual species or strain.
A. crassipinnis is rarely seen for sale, often mis-ID'ed and often demands a high price...
They do get big, but no bigger than any A. ocellatus, all the Astronotus love insects, it is accepted that insects are mainstay in their diet.

Damned good friend, indeed!
