There are Labeo species and cichlids which follow hippos. They clean parasites and algae from the hippo's skin and consume non-metabolized matter from the hippo's feces.
Tilapia buttikeferi, and a number of other Tilapines are some of those dung eaters.
So you scat and Tilapia keepers, get herself some cow pies.

Be aware that a tank of scats means the tank will never contain plants. My scat shoal ate every live plant and tore apart every plastic plant. We had a member, years ago, that was trying to breed scats. He kept them in a green-water pond and fed them by throwing whole heads of cabbage into the pond which the scats made short work of the hard leaves.
I don't remember. But, I doubt it. Scatophagus lay tiny eggs containing some oil to give the eggs positive buoyancy. The eggs and newly hatched fry become part of the ocean's surface plankton, feeding on microscopic organisms for a time after hatching. This type of spawn would be difficult, at best, to replicate such demanding conditions in a captive environment.

I kept one of these in my fresh water from a very small baby and grew it out to the size of a dinner plate.
