Yes two Algae (a kind of primitive plant life) can be (develop) in the same tank. There is no reason why they should not.
An algae eating species of any type isn't capable of eating all the algae in the tank. Your going to have to clean the tank yourself. The algae eater will from then on keep the algae levels in your tank down, but not totally.
The green scum is an algae bloom. If you have a lot of direct sunlight in your tank, try to reduce this amount; the same applies for your tank light, you will need to reduce this to cut back on the algae bloom.
yes if you have a take more than 45liters tank its best to have 5 algae eaters below 45liters its best to have 1 as in small groups in a small tank they are very teratorial and in small groups in large tank is the same but a large group in a large tank is usally beast from rhyskimber all this iformation is about chinise and simase algae eaters is there any think else you need
It is called coraline algae.
By icky, I am guessing you mean algae? Well for one, this will be paradise for Algae Eaters but the other fish might feel a little dirty or sick. Clean your tank and while doing, use an algae scrubber and scrub down the sides of the tank where the algae is present.Hint: Scrub on the inside of the tank, where the water is.
The green sludge is probably algae. If the tank has an open top, the sunlight will encourage the growth of algae. If this is the case, clean the tank out and keep covered.
algae creates oxygen in the water ,tank. i found a 35 gal. tank you could not see into because the algae was so thick. the tank had not been touched for almost 6 months, yet there was a fish alive in the tank , not only did the algae create oxygen in the tank, but also created a food source for the fish to survive

I had two plecostomusses in the same tank and they did fine together.
If there is algae (the green stuff) on the tank, or objects in the tank, then you don't need to feed them at all. If not, depending on the size of the snail, you can get algae "chips" that the snails will feed on. Here's a site that can help.

you buy an algae fish at a pet store to eat the algae.
You shouldn't expect the plecos to survive just on algae. Get some bottom feeder pellets for them. They need food. Also, that tank is much too small for two plecos, let alone six other fish.
