Bryconops sapezal is a small freshwater fish native to the Rio Tapajós basin of Brazil.

[1] A blue tint is rare in Bryconops (only otherwise seen in B. inpai and B. marabaixo);[4][5] most species are plain silvery or slightly greenish.

[2] A feature seen in most members of Bryconops is the presence of hooks or spines on select pelvic- and anal-fin rays of mature males.

[7] Members of Creatochanes are characterized by having 1–3 teeth on either side of the maxillary, having ossified and well-denticulated gill rakers, and having a relatively long maxilla.

[2][7] Tributaries of the Rio Juruena are generally straight, with turbulent waters and frequent interruption by waterfalls.

[12] Bryconops sapezal has not been evaluated by the IUCN, but is facing excess survival pressures concerning its habitat.

The natural range of B. sapezal extends near several dams, including one from which the holotype (original specimen) was collected.
