Hyphessobrycon borealis (Zarske, Le Bail & Géry, 2006) | |
Hyphessobrycon borealis is commonly found in French Guiana, where it has been discovered in many coastal river systems.[citation needed]
Hyphessobrycon borealis has a tail very similar to the Buenos Aires tetra, with its black patch jutting out into yellow and then turning clear. A long black line runs down its body with an iridescent black below it and an iridescent gray above it.[citation needed]
