Phenacogrammus bleheri is a species of fish in the African tetra family. It is known only from a small tributary of the Bari River in the Lua River system in the Ubangi River drainage, in the middle Congo River basin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1] This species reaches a length of 6.3 cm (2.5 in).[2]
Etymology
The tetra is named in honor of explorer and ornamental fish wholesaler Heiko Bleher, who provided a lot of specimens for Géry's study, including the type specimen of this species.[3]
