Since they don't use the same food source, they aren't competitive. However, bigger fish eat smaller fish no matter what. Algae eaters tend to survive when other free-swimming fish get eaten, but if your carp are really aggressive or breeding or maybe just bored, then the algae eaters of whatever kind may get picked on. You could try snails and controlling the amount of light, if algae eating fish don't work out.
