Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8; Radios blandos anales: 9; Vértebra: 34. This species is distinguished from its congeners by having the following characters: with a series of conspicuous clear spots on each scale along the fourth longitudinal scale row, not followed by
a black spot (vs. absence of clear spots in Copella compta, C. eigenmanni, C. vilmae, no clear spots on the fourth longitudinal scale row in some males of C. arnoldi, and clear spots followed by dark spots on C. nattereri); further differs from all its congeners, except some specimens of C. eigenmanni by having a black longitudinal band on the body from the dentary to the caudal peduncle (vs. without or longitudinal dark band extending up to the anal fin) (Ref. 137746).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Similar to C. nattereri, this species is known to deposit eggs on submerged vegetation, which are guarded by the male during incubation (Ref. 137764).
