Yes.
It happens to goldfish, gouramis, all kinds of fish.
Touch the tank glass really fast to scare him, and he'll zoom away, breaking the **** off.

My pleco is the same as the other guys, he has more pooh when I feed him algae tablets rather than when he is just eating normal food scraps and crud off of the tank. Maybe processed algae gives them constipation or somthing : )

Yeah our big pleco swims around with one of the plants on her nose & about her body length of poop behind her. I guess they don't have a cookie cutter the way us mammals do?

No it is not normal, your pleco is probably getting too much to
eat.

This is totally normal, it just depends on its diet. I have noticed that if I feed mine algi table it got worse.
