Inhabits caves; found in rocky habitats; feeds on the droppings of mainly herbivorous species; picks up edible morsels from the substrate; also seems to be attracted to large catfishes, from which it may eat wastes as well (Ref. 5595). Feeds on droppings of cave-dwelling catfish Bagrus meridionalis (Ref. 82798).
