Where can I buy Geophagus Redhead Tapajos?

[Mythic Figment]

They're not common where I live. I don't care if a fish is f1, captive bred or wild caught, not too much of a difference for me. Geophagus Altifrons and Steindachneri are the only ones sold in all my LFS.

If that is the case, Aquabid.com or a reputable online importer/breeder is your best bet to get some. The good news is that geo tapajos are super easy to identify after 1.5-2", which is about what most are sold at. So there is little to no chance of getting something else like there is when someone is selling altifrons, surinamensis or abalios, unless of course they have seen the parents or are very good at IDing baby geos.

I just ordered some red heads from imperial tropical this morning. If you spend over $30 you get free shipping in the US.

I have lived about 30 minutes away from Imperial for the last 2.5 years and have never been. I just heard of them 6 months ago. Now that I'm moving four states away, I might buy some stock from them after I get settled in. LOL

I just recently found out about them myself. I have been on my lfs to get me some red heads for quite a while and have had no luck. I was looking around aquabid and found imperial. The free shipping made me decide to give them a try. So we shall see.

Just an update. I received my fish last Friday and they were well packed and very lively. I was acclimating them and noticed one was missing an eye. After closer inspection it looked like an old injury that had healed. I emailed imperial with pics and within 5 min they had responded. There was no hassle at all and he agreed to send me another one. I received the new one on Tuesday and all of them are doing well and are healthy. So I would have no problems ordering from them again.
