[thefredpit]

Ok I came upon my L196 earlier and saw the funniest thing, as you will see, and it got me thinking my plecos sometimes do crazy things so I wanted to see if other peoples pleco do strange things too so post your pics

here is what I walked up on my L196 laying on his back on a decoration sucking on the intake sponge

here is another one of him swimming upside down looking for frogbit to eat

I think the afer is the only one that isn't inconvenienced! That's a great pic though.
