Craig is correct. I have 2 of these and they are getting redder by the day. Rapps had them in stock about 6 months ago, so they do show up in the trade.
I believe Ken Davis also had some that were very similiar not long ago. Might still have a couple if you ask.

Rapps? I never saw him with them up? I remember him have spotted Efastciatus or something like that
Aye, Even the big man himself sometimes resorts to "shop names"...
I imagine because 99% of Heros keeps dont really care about catch location / sub species, so they come across as H.efasciatus or H.efasciatus "rotkeil".
Im having a nightmare trying to trace any imports of H.spurius on this side of the pond for the same reason. if its ever been collected for the hobby, its 99% posative its come in under H.efasciatus (if at all) over the last 160 years.
Annoying to say the least

Technically I believe they are efasciatus. He had them lable as H. efasciatus wild caught from the Rio Tapajos. Until they are properly described and changed I believe efasciatus is the proper name at the moment. Heros Efasciatus sp tapajos is what I call them.
If someone has a different name that is correct please let me know. But that is what I will use until then.

Jeff had them labled exactly like this.
