Pleco Behavior

[Ellen]

Does anybody elses pleco hang onto the filter intake? That seems to be mine's favorite spot lately! I know that to get them to spawn, you can increase the water flow in their aquarium, so maybe he's just looking for a little more water flow?

Yeah they are looking for a flow. They like the fast water. All my tanks i have a stronger powerhead so the can stand or lay in front of it instead of sucking on it.  moreso the royals and rubberlip. some just want to chill, like my cactus or spotted orange seam plecs.
