Odd Pleco

[Lantz]

I have three Plecos in a 135 gallon African Cichlid tank, all three come out when I feed the rest of the fish, they are the most active daytime Plecos Ive had in 40 plus years in this hobby! One feeds from the top like the other fish! anyone else ecver had one to do this?

L. I keep Plecos in my 120 mixed cichlid tank as well in all my other tanks. Mine have never come to the surface to eat. They always swim to the corner of the tank where I feed Omega One sinking micro pellets and gorge themselves. Other than that they spend the day nawing on driftwood. Your Pleco certainly looks healthy. His unusual behavior is probably just a unique part of his personality.

Thanks for the reply, Yeah all three are the most friendly Plecos Ive ever had, they never hide!?
