The Cenepa Red Pencilfish or Super Red Cenepa Pencilfish is theorized to be either a newly discovered species or possibly an aberrant variant of the Purple Pencilfish (Nannostomus rubrocaudatus).

A schooling fish, they are best kept in groups of 5 or more as they will display the best color in the presence of a group.
