Pleco doing weird thing?normal?

[grehbeh]

So I just noticed him transferring from the glass side to floating upside down? I threw in cichlid pellets earlier and when I threw in more it looked like he was sucking up the broken down liquid parts of the food? He
Looks perfectly normal he resumes cleaning the rest of the tank but any opinions?

My common pleco does the swim/float upside down thing every now and again. Wouldn't hurt to check your water params just to be safe, if you haven't already.

As long as other fish are not gasping on the surface you should be okay.

If they are, agitate the water surface.

My big guy will always come to the surface to take a breath....

Also to get my attention that he's hungry... Plecos defiantly have a personality!

I think my common spends more time upside down than he does floating or swimming normally lol. Got another that lays on his back constantly. looks like he's dead till we drop food in and he's the first to it. I think it's fairly normal for them to act.....well, abnormal
