Here is a video of the pleco doing its best Spiderman impersonation.  Water is cascading down the nearly vertical wall, making the climb that much more impressive and also explains how this catfish survives above the water.  This is the first time scientists have documented this activity.  The behavior seems to defy any practical or survival purpose.
