Comments:
There seems to be some true Tapajos variants around although you need to look hard. Weidner suggests that the "Orange Head" fish from the Rio Tapajos and Rio Araguaia are in fact sibling populations of one and the same species. This species also occurs in the blackwaters of the Rio Arapiuns; a lower tributary of the Rio Tapajos.
