my pleco always takes my other fishes food!
he swim on the glass up to the top of the tank and them sucks up my cichlids food!!! its pretty funny :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::screwy:
 
Yep - they do that - they gotta eat :)
 
one of my clown plecos will swim upside down in the surface of the water
 
I have found that this behavior is a sign of poor nutrition offered to the plecos themselves. When fed a proper diet, they very rarely do this.
 
I do agree with you Wyldfya, but it is also something i've never witnessed with adults really, it's always the young ones.
