Red face Best diet for plecos?

Hey everyone, I was wondering what everyone feeds their plecos? There is a few different things people do feed but I'm not to sure what to experiment with..
So far they eat just algae.

I have...
3 Gibbys, an albino, a black spot ,a gold spot
4 plecos, 1 large common, 2 zebras (2 different kinds) and one poke a dot one.

Also 3 peppermint bristlenose,

I want to make sure they are taken care of 100% !

Thanks!

Iv got them spread out around my 2 footers. I have a 6 foot setup with my big pleco. The others are still young and have plenty of room. They eat the disks now but dont seem to enjoy them to much anymore.. maybe bored? haha

NLS wafers, it contains daily nutrition with no need for supplements.

I feed all my fish, including L-204 Panaques, L-134 Peckoltia, several species of Hypancistrus, and more BN Ancistrus than I can count the same diet. NLS 1mm Cichlid or .5mm Grow pellets (depending on size), spirulina flakes, and canned green beans for most of them as well. Occaisonally frozen bloodworms for the non-Ancistrus species.
