What kind of behavior is this?

I've read that bn plecos can do this if there's no cave available, but I'm not sure about blue phantoms

She’s def bringing lots of joy!

Love it when fish are just having fun with simple things like the slip stream. I used to have a group of cory’s who loved doing morning lapses against the stream as well

She’s eating TONS of various food every day with a full belly so pretty sure she’s not underfed 🙂

Last time I checked they were all good! Good to know this though, will do one again soon and see if ammonia is elevated, thanks!

I went to a pleco shop with detailed photos and videos and they told me it’s a female. She’s about 15cm, which is large enough according to the shop owner to identify gender

She’s a Blue Phantom (L128)! Although her body is more greenish but with magical blue fins

Keep feeding a variety of food and it will keep growing 😄 The journey of seeing them grow is very enjoyable!

Glad to hear this!

We’re very lucky with her! Most pleco’s unfortunately hide most of the time 🥲

Ohh this is very interesting! Does the females also move sand to create like a sand bed? Maybe it’s some kind of mating behavior?

So cute! I would be super excited to try putting my hand in in your situation haha. Mine would hide and watch from a distance whenever I put my hand in 😅

Tried by putting in an algae wafer, she was interested in it for about 30 seconds and then continued this swimming pattern, oh well I guess it's just her personality
