my pleco used to be really shy and timid. He finally got the courage to leave his little cave. Now he is out all the time usually on the glass. A lot of the time it's on the glass, it is upside down. Like it is up on the glass and it's head is pointed toward the bottom. it seems like it maybe could have something to do with blood going to it's head. Or maybe it just how it is. Thanks.

i would check into the blood spot. as for the way they stick, that probably isn't anything to worry about. other than the times where my pleco comes out of his cave, he is always upside down on top of the cave roof.

does your pleco have any driftwood? most like it and you may want to get a piece for him. it helps with the digestion of some plecos but should just make almost any pleco happier.
