Ctenocheirodon pristis
Ctenocheirodon pristis is a species of characin native to South America that can grow up to 3.4 cm long (only 3.3 for males). It is the only known member of its genus. Its specific name comes from the Greek word pristis, which means saw. This refers to the projected fins on the underside of the fish.
