Hey guys, I'm worried that my bristle nose is looking a little pale and thin. I have been feeding him alge wafers but he shows little interest and the other fish gobble them! I know that's not enough for him and have tried courgette and carrot as well, but once again he seems uninterested? Any recommendations?

60ltr Tank,1 bristle nose, 3 adult guppies, 2 juvinile guppies, 2 mollys, 1 platy and a ghost shrimp that lives in the filter!
 
I feed mine algae wafers. I put them in the tank at night though, before I go to bed. I'm pretty sure plecos are nocturnal so that keeps the other fish from attacking the food before my pleco gets it.
 
Thanks, I will try that, but I think the other fish will still go for them, but I feed them enough so they shouldn't be hungry!
 
I have neons, white clouds and a dwarf gourami that all eat the algae wafers during the day. When I put algae wafers in right before turning off all the lights in the room, only the bn pleco, cories and ottos get them.
