Default Is L46 a good algae eater?

Anyone tested feeding algae to l46? I know they prefer meaty diet but do they clean algae well?

Luxury to get L46 as algae eater. With the price it fetches, don't think you would just want them to feast on unwanted algae.

Oh, didn't know need to specially feed the algae eating pleco. I always leave my common pleco alone and they grow fast and big. Maybe they scavenge on left over food or share the food I feed to others.

Agreed bro. They are mainly carnivorous and should have a variety of food given to them haha considering they are such high priced endangered species
