The Dawn Tetra has a torpedo-shaped silver body with opalescent pale green reflecting from the scales behind the gill plates along the central, lateral area to the root of the caudal fin.

This fish is unique as it has a moderately full, black line running along the line of the spine from the back of the gills to its caudal fin and then continuing along the lower caudal fin to its tip.
