Happy new year all!

Had a question for the experts. I know the difference or at least I think I do between Atabapo I, and II. I have seen both available in recent months and both are incredible. Atabapo I seem to be the more desirable for coloration and maybe not as susceptible to Hith which seems to be more of an issue with Atabapo II...or so I have read anyway.

With that said what are the differences between Tapajo I, and II?

I have seen some striking Tapajo I specimens. Deep red coloration with some white and black in the dorsal. Im just not so certain what the Tapajo II's are? Now in the past I had seen Cobra pikes available in LFS's that were more marbled looking or even with coloration or patterns tht would resemble a frog. I have seen them referenced as Tapajo II online but not sure if this is the correct name for these fish that I am referencing. Can anyone describe the difference between these two variants?


Hoping some of the experts can shed some light on this for me.
