Bryconops collettei is a small freshwater fish from the rivers of South America. It is mostly silvery, with notable green iridescence on its sides, and a diffuse ocellus (eyespot) on the upper lobe of the caudal fin. Before its distinction as a separate species, specimens of B. collettei were misidentified as specimens of Bryconops caudomaculatus due to several morphological similarities, including a caudal ocellus and generally similar fin coloration.
Due to a generally peaceful nature, B. collettei forms schools with various species of fish, not just conspecifics. Particular dietary needs are not known, but it is likely to be an insectivore, based on patterns in the rest of the genus. It can usually be found in areas with acidic waters and plentiful riparian vegetation.
