I have not checked the water chemistry, but it is clean, not debris,

lettuce. He is always sucking or stuck to walls or the raiser tube. Is
he really eating algae even If I don't see them? It Seems healthy
since he moves around fast, but I am quite concerned....


Any clue?


In order to know what or if it's eating, you'll have to find out what
kind of Pleco it is. There are hundreds of types. Many are strict
vegie eaters, while many are omnivores.
What size tank is this and also, how long has it been set up and
running with fish?


I have no idea what kind of pleco it is. All I can say is that it is
1.5 inch long. Dark brown in color with yellow stripes. Like a tiger
if you will. The tank is small so far. 2 gallons but planing to go
bigger. Is the only one in the tank and I have had it for a month
already.
