8" Pleco Eating Zucchini

This is my (approx) 8 inch long Sailfin Plecostomus. As you can see, he's in spot mode.. lol (his coloring changes from spots to patchy stripes) He's EXTREMELY shy, but with the adding of the danios he's become slightly bolder- coming out to eat his zucchini within 5 minutes of me putting it in in the evening, and before the lights are out- no less! Therefore I was able to sneak up on him and take this video from afar... but if you go within 4 meters of the tank (within his vision) he'll dash back to his cave. The pleco gets fed a slice of zucchini every evening, and it's always gone by morning.

The tank is a 55 gallon long, which currently houses the pleco, 3 otocinclus, and a bunch of danios (pearl, leopard and red zebra).
