Description
The Incomati Rock Catlet (*Chiloglanis bifurcus*) is a small, bottom-dwelling catfish native to the fast-flowing waters of the Incomati River system. It features a specialized suckermouth and flattened body, allowing it to cling to rocks in strong currents. This species displays a mottled brown and tan pattern, providing effective camouflage against its natural rocky habitat.
