Carnegiella schereri, a species of freshwater hatchetfish, is native to the Amazon Basin in Peru and Brazil.

[1] It is often sold for home aquariums as silver hatchetfish, dwarf hatchetfish, or Scherer's hatchetfish, and grows to about 2.6 centimeters (1 inch).

[2] Named in honor of William G. Scherer, an Evangelical Missionary at Pebas, Peru, who collected the type specimen and shared his collection of fishes from the Peruvian Amazon.
