Creagrutus guanes is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a characin, belonging to the family Stevardiidae. [1]
It is found in Colombia South America.
This species reaches a length of 7.3 cm (2.9 in). [2]
The species name honors the Guanes, an indigenous people who once inhabited the Río Fonce basin in Colombia (the type locality). The Guanes fiercely resisted the Spanish conquistadors, a struggle that ultimately led to their near‑complete extinction. [3]
