Hi thanks for the type and do you know anything about there diet I give it algae tablets and I tried a courgette but it didn't touch it

There omnivorous with a preference for a meatier diet.... things like bloodworm, muscles, shrimp are all good things.... a good sinking pleco/catfish pellet and varied veg.

Keep a mixed regime going and you shouldn't have any problems.

Any well fed plec will probably not eat much of most algaes tbh... scobi's either way probably wont touch it though.
