The silver labeo (Labeo ruddi) is an African species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae.

It can reach a length up to 30 cm and weight of 1 kg.

[2] Silver labeo can be found in the lowveld stretches of the Limpopo and Incomati rivers (South Africa, Eswatini, Mozambique, Zimbabwe), and in a geographically distinct Cunene River population on the Angola–Namibia border.

[1] The silver labeo prefers deeper waters in or associated with main river channels and off channel pools, and is found over sand or mud bottoms.

[1] In the rainy season it will move upstream for breeding.
