These fish are omnivorous, however, they are highly herbivorous only eating proteins every once in a while. In the wild they feed mainly on algae and sometimes on rotifers and small crustaceans. In captivity they can be fed with vegetable-based dried foods, blanched spinach or cucumber and every once in a while some brine shrimp or bloodworms.
