Siphamia species are very small cardinalfish that grow to a maximum of 5 to 6 cm long. Your body is more or less slender or high back, the color is light with more or less dark vertical stripes on the head and body sides or monochrome, silvery. The caudal fin is forked or notched. The premaxillary and lower jaws of the fish are covered with one or more rows of slender teeth. The palate can be dentate or dentate. The supramaxillary, a bone of the upper jaw, is missing. The ridge of the Vorkiemendeckels (Preoperculum) is smooth, smooth the edges or cut. The stomach, intestines and peritoneum are pale with melanophores of various sizes. All Siphamia species have luminous organs on the back of the body from the tail stalk to the rear base of the anal fin , in which the light is generated by bioluminescent bacteria .
