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).

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.

50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resiliência (Ref.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
