Scavengers are omnivorous fish, sucking algae, benthic animals and water waste, as well as consuming large quantities of fish eggs and fry. (Adult scavengers have a huge appetite and come out with algae such as moss. They will also feed on the eggs of other fish. They can eat 3,000 to 5,000 eggs a day, and they will also swallow fish fry.) In the aquarium, they are often adsorbed on rocks. Stabilizes the body on blocks, on glass, and feeds on algae and moss.

Many people who have raised scavenger fish will find that the scavenger's mouth is like a vacuum cleaner, sucking all the fish feces and green plants into the stomach.
