I was wondering if anyone else had a sucker fish that likes to turn upside down at feeding time and skim the top of the water lol I'll try to get a pic of him doing it it's kinda different I think

I had one it is called an upside down catfish. He would float upside down at times and feed upside down. Fun to watch.

When I had a freshwater tank it wasn't unusual to have a pleco flip upside down and skim the top of the water at feeding time

Their a pretty common type in Japan and I feed em 2-3 times a day more than they can eat I've got 3 enlongated fish at the bottom that have to eat to lol so their never that hungry their just fast eaters

They r in every pond or lake and river in florida. I use to catch them by hand when they make a burrow in side of river. Gotta pull them out fast enough before they lock their fins
