Description
Hyphessobrycon togoi grows up to a length of 5.9 centimetres (2.3 in). The basic body color is silver to shiny green, with a horizontal, green stripe from head to caudal fin. It differs from similar tetras in having a black humeral spot. In contrast to Hyphessobrycon langeanii, it has a second, smaller humeral spot more right.[3] The female is slightly larger than the male.[2]
Habitat
The species inhabits extensive, plant-rich water-bodies. Compared with other species, it is not very common. It has also been found in the lagoons of Chascomús and Lobos Partidos, as well as in the Matanza River, a highly polluted stream.[2]
