Poecilia koperi has simple, single-cusped inner teeth, and the largest individuals examined measured 56.2 mm standard length for a female and 47.0 mm for a male. Within the Poecilia sphenops species complex, it differs from P. gillii cuneata by having fewer rays in the dorsal and anal fins and from other P. gillii subspecies by its gonopodium.
