Plecosaurous

So beginning three days ago, whenever I feed my fish flakes, my Pleco swims up to the surface, swims upside down, so that his mouth is at the surface, and gobbles down a lot of fish flakes. Anyone else have a similar experience with their pleco?? He is large, about 10 inches, and I give him an algae wafer every night, or every other night, depending on if I sleep at my girlfriends or now. So I dont think that it is hungry, perhaps it has just gotten to enjoy the flake food?

Never seen that behavior before. That's one smart pleco . I don't think that's anything to be worried about.

Maybe they get smarter with age?

Hello. I agree with the above posters. I think your Pleco is just enjoying his flakes.
