A genus of small freshwater fish known as loaches, which can breathe air and are sometimes called stone loaches.
From New Latin, derived from Greek 'kobitis,' an ancient name for a type of fish mentioned in classical texts. The genus was formalized in scientific taxonomy in the 18th century.
Cobitis fish are nature's sneaky survivors—they can gulp air from the surface and actually breathe through their intestines, allowing them to survive in oxygen-poor waters that would kill most other fish.
