Copella eigenmanni is a species of fish in the splashing tetra family found along the Atlantic coast between Pará to Delta Amacuro, the mouth of the Orinoco. They grow no more than a few centimeters.[1]
The fish is named in honor of ichthyologist Carl H. Eigenmann (1863-1927), who collected the type specimen.[2]
