The Zambezi yellowfish, "Labeobarbus codringtonii", is commonly found throughout the Zambezi and Okavango Rivers in Southern Africa. They prefer fast flowing water over cobble and rocky bottoms where they predominantly feed on aquatic insects and crustaceans.FishBase species | genus = Labeobarbus | species = codringtonii | year = 2007 | month = Apr] Their exaggerated fins help them manoeuvre in the fast water and they are powerful swimmers. The Zambezi yellowfish is highly sought after by sport anglers and fly fishing is the preferred method of catching them.
