Behaviour

What it eats? Omnivorous, it feeds on animal organisms such as insects or earthworms and on plant substances found on the bottom, and of any type of organic debris. Search for food on the bottom, rooting, putting the snout in the mud and helping with the four barbels to locate the nourishment.
