Day-to-day catfish is a gregarious fish, which means that it tends to live in groups with other individuals of its species. It is mainly nocturnal and spends the day hidden in caves and crevices in the rocks.

Roeboides Dayi fish is a relatively common fish in its natural habitat, although it is threatened by the loss of its habitat due to the development of rivers and the construction of dams. It is also sometimes captured to be sold as a pet in aquarophilia stores.

Due to its small size and gregarious behavior, Day's catfish is a fish adapted to the aquarophilia. It is generally easy to maintain in a well -equipped aquarium, but it needs a habitat that looks like it, with caves and crevices to hide. Day-to-day catfish is also sensitive to poor quality water, so it is important to maintain an adequate filtration level and regularly change water from the aquarium.
