Yes, it eats. but it also depend on the type of fish you have stocked in the aquarium. eg. if there is sucker fish (cat fish) it definitely clears the scum on the glass tanks.
Always try to avoid overgrowth of algae as it affects the water parameters.
in nature also some fishes like Schizothorax, bagarius etc feed on AUFWUCHS ( a mixture of bacteria, fungi , algae and other organisms attached to the rocks) and sucks them.
