Copella nattereri or the spotted tetra is a species of fish in the splashing tetra family found in the upper Amazon basin, as well as the Rio Negro and Orinoco basins. They grow no more than 4.5 centimetres (1.8 in).[2]
Etymology
[edit]The fish is named in honor of Johann Natterer (1787-1843), who explored South America and collected specimens there for 18 years, including the type specimen of this species along with many others.[3]
