Tapajo Color...?

[EdCal]

What size do Red Head Tapajos start to show their red head color? Just picked up some 1 1/2" juvies and they look identical to my juvy Altifrons. Can't wait to be able to distinguish them apart.

You should start to see orange/red when they are about 5 months old, at 2".

These are a group from Geophagus breeder #1 (aka Ed Burress). They are around 3", and have been red for a while. You can almost sex them now..
