The minor tetra (Hyphessobrycon minor) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Acestrorhamphidae, the American characins.[2] This fish is from the Essequibo River in Guyana in South America, closely resembling its relative, the serpae tetra, from the Amazon and Paraguay.[3] These two very similar species are separated geographically, so they would not interbreed.
