After deciding to take a break from the floating cucumber pleco starts exploring for other food. Comes full circle back to the cucumber

This is one curious pleco. He is pretty active for a pleco, most are normally shy and want to hide away, this guy has, nope.

I love it when they swim through the water, so graceful.

As I said in the other video I am not 100% sure what type this pleco is, I think it's Bristlenose, could be wrong

  • @armory365 It's strange, but mine has suddenly started becoming more active the last 2 days, it actually moves around the tank and sucks on the glass (it hasn't done that for ages) I haven't changed anything but it's nice to see it more active. I need to get more cucumber too

  • @Sacredbull okay, thanks for the info! I'll be sure to use it in the future! (btw my pleco comes out alot more frequently after feeding it cucumber) Thankss!!!

  • @armory365 They like a cucumber. I haven't got more plants yet but I did change the cave again so now you can actually see inside it so I can spot him easily. He's not hiding away as much now, he sits in the dark under it or upside down on the wood but he still doesn't just swim around freely. I will get more plants soon though, take the edge of the light (which already isn't the brightest)

  • @Sacredbull Thanks! I got my pleco to come out once or twice with a cucumber!

  • @armory365 Hey, sorry it was so late a response. I honestly don't know why it did act so lively. Its grown a little bit bigger now but it's a lot shyer now too. I do see it but it hides under the wood and gets spooked quite easy.

    The tank doesn't look like this now but I don't have as much thick plants as I did, maybe it felt safer with them.

    It has picked my interest, I am curious myself why it's changed from how it was here. I might try getting more plants again and see what happens

  • How do you get your pleco to come out of it's hiding place like that?
