The other morning I woke up and fed my fish like normal. I walked away and when I came back my pleco was swimming belly-up on the surface of the water! He didn't look pale, he was still breathing, and he wasn't just floating in one spot he was moving all around the tank while upside down on the water's surface. I almost freaked out but then I remembered I read somewhere that they sometimes do this at feeding time to eat flake food. I feed him cucumbers every day so he's not starving but he apparently just figured out how to do this. He's now been doing it every morning and night when I feed the other fish but other than that, he acts totally normal! Has anyone else seen this?
