parrot fish verses pleco

i have 2 parrot fish approx. 3 to 4 inches within a 27 gallon hex tank attempted twice to introduce pleco to control algea growth neither lasted more than 48 hours. i have to assume they were devoured by the parrots. i do frequent water changes once a week. tank stays in pristine condition except for small build up of algea on glass and rocks, what other options do i have.

other ideas...

you could also try adding a full grown pleco. or another option is using algae treatment (but be careful, treat some water before adding it to the tank)

just found pleco well hidden behind rock appears to be ok.

I'm surprised that the parrots would eat the pleco as they are compatible, did you see aggression? where there remains or did they just ""disappear" did you test the water at time? cut down on light, don't overfeed, try adding plants(ha ha)
