Plecos certainly love green stuff. Anyone know, from experience, whether
they'll eat duckweek?


I doubt it, since their mouths point down, and duckweed is always up.


Mine will catch food pellets floating on the surface with his mouth. It's
quite a sight to see; he'll float suspended at an odd angle with his belly
pointed up while he works on sucking the pellet. It's as if he doesn't realize
the food is free floating and not stuck to a substrate like algae.
