I've seen post describing plecos swimming upside down and sucking flake off
the surface.

It just occurred to me to ask... The only tanks I have duckweed in are
tanks I do not have pl*cos in. I've never seen pl*cos eating duckweed
and,
frankly, have a hard time visualizing how they would physically position
themselves in order to do so. Does anyone have any direct eyeball-type
evidence of pl*cos eating duckweed?

I spent two hours picking duckweed out of a 30" x 12" x 3" mat of
Riccia
with tweezers and a jewelers loupe while my four-year old ran around
my
legs
tunelessly screaming Christmas songs and my two-year old repeatedly
attempted to immerse himself in the rinse bucket. I HATE duckweed...
and,
at this point, nearly everything else.
