👉 Cheilochromis is a genus of marine fish that belongs to the family Chordata, commonly known as sharks or rays. They are characterized by their distinctive black and white stripes on the sides of their bodies, which serve as camouflage in water. These sharks have a wide range of adaptations for survival in aquatic environments, including specialized fins and scales, streamlined bodies, and powerful jaw muscles that enable them to hunt prey through their sharp teeth and claws.
