I fixed that embed. The html code alone will not work. Place youtube codes on both ends of the code.
 
I cannt watch the video ( it wont let me for some reason :( ) , but for the first click which comes up i think i know what its on about .

Yeah my 2 Commons do that ever so often .

I think its 'cos when i run out the Sinking Algae Wafers and other sinking foods i give them and cannt get new for a couple of days ( week tops ) they come up to the top and try and eat the pellets i feed my other fish . So i now try and just feed them other foods like Melon , Cucumber , Squash , Zucchini , Ect . More often .
 
my plecos actually developed this because i feed them cucumber that floats ^^

Do you not weight the cucumber down with something , like a fork . ?

nah, theres no point. then i gotta fish the fork out and it gets in the plecos way etc. the cucumbers eventually sink after about an hour of being in the water anyway. but the plecos are impatient and just had to have them so they scaled the walls and went for them while they floated as well.
 
Ok then , i just always weight mine down for the 2 pleco i have .
 
thats cool az
