surface feeding pleco pics

[Mr.Midas]

I made an earlier thread about my surface feeding pleco and promised some pics, so here they are. Some of them are pretty poor quality, he doesnt like to be photographed and the outside of the tank is kinda dirty. Hope you enjoy anyway

opcorn:Fascinating

 

[Mr.Midas]

thanks, I hope to get a video eventually. But as soon as I take out the camera he usually heads back to the bottom.

Very cool. Does he take algae waffers from your hand? I once saw a picture of a large pleco that would do that. I think it may have been someone on here whose pleco did that.

 

[Mr.Midas]

no, he doesn't. But that would be sweet, maybe I'll try to train him
I had my Jack Dempsy taking shrimp from my hand.

I have one of the same that does similar. The others always stay at the bottom, but not this one..

When active no telling what they'll do next! Strange indeed!

 

[Mr.Midas]

haha, I didn't realize until now, but the fourth pic down shows a big turd hanging:lol:

 

[excuzzzeme]

Guess that means he is eating! You got picture proof of it!

 

[Mr.Midas]
