SHILLONG: Amidst the recent floods in South West Garo Hills, a resident of Kumligaon village achieved a remarkable feat by capturing a rare Sucker Mouth Catfish using a fishing net.

The fish, known for its distinct cat-like coloration, is seldom seen, especially under such challenging conditions.

The incident unfolded as floodwaters surged through the region, underscoring both the resilience of local residents and the unique biodiversity present in Kumligaon.

Polan Koch’s successful catch has sparked curiosity among community members and wildlife enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the diverse aquatic life thriving in the area.

As the floodwaters gradually recede, there is renewed hope for further exploration and conservation of the rich aquatic biodiversity that Kumligaon is home to.

The Sucker Mouth Catfish, a member of the Loricariidae family, boasts a distinct appearance and is renowned for its ability to suction itself onto various surfaces in its habitat.

With over 680 species in its family, this particular catch highlights the rare encounter of such a species outside its typical tropical fish tank habitat.

This achievement not only underscores the natural wonders of Garo Hills but also emphasises the need to protect and study its unique aquatic ecosystems.
