Yes, some species of plecos, particularly those belonging to the family Loricariidae, can breathe air by gulping air at the water's surface. They possess a specialized structure in their intestines that allows them to extract oxygen from the air, which is beneficial in low-oxygen environments. However, they primarily rely on their gills for respiration when submerged.

How can you show you breath out water vapour?
You can demonstrate that you breathe out water vapor by exhaling onto a cold surface, such as a mirror or glass. The moisture in your breath condenses upon contact with the cold surface, forming tiny droplets that create a foggy appearance. Alternatively, you could use a hygrometer to measure the humidity in your breath, showing the presence of water vapor.
