The African butter catfish possesses a compressed body and very small adipose fin. It can grow up to TL. As a predator it feeds on invertebrates and fish, as well as algae.〔Ayoade, A., et al. (2008). (Diet and dietary habits of the fish ''Shilbe mystus'' (Siluriformes: Shilbeidae) in two artificial lakes in southwestern Nigeria. ) ''Rev Biol Trop'' 56:4 1847-55.〕 It has been noted to feed on the fish species Elephant snout (''Hyperopsusus bebe'') and Nile tilapia (''Oreochromis niloticus'').〔
This fish is of commercial importance in many parts of Africa, providing a good-tasting, relatively low-cost source of protein.〔
