Copella carsevennensis is a species of fish in the splashing tetra family found in the upper Amazon basin, in the coastal tributaries and rivers of Amapá and The Guianas. They grow no more than a few centimeters in length and typically congregate near the surface of clear-water creeks and streams. They feed on mayfly larvae and ants. They spawn their eggs onto sunken leaves that the male guards.[1]
