yes but it depends if you have a snail
Remove him from the aquarium immediately and dispose of him. Determine what caused his death: was he diseased? If so, you may have to treat your aquarium before replacing him with another algae eater. Or you can simply resign yourself to a bigger job of removing algae from your aquarium without his help.
Plecostomus are algae eaters they are not carnivores. They are also tropical fish so they should never be in an aquarium with coldwater fish like goldfish. If your Plecco is eating your goldfish you must be doing something very very wrong. Work it out. They can live with your goldfish but this may happen, This is because you are not feeding them enough most likely.
Goldfish are omnivorous and will nibble on a bit of algae as a part of their diet just as people will eat vegetables as a part of their diet.
If it is man made then you could possibly remove and scrub it.
I would try going to any aquarium shop, and get a product called algaeflex or algaefix. Treat the water with correct dosage. This should kill off the algae and you should then drain it and clean off the dead algae.. Happy scrubbing I would try going to any aquarium shop, and get a product called algaeflex or algaefix.

I suppose so
No, because plants are not made up of algae
algae and any other live plants are the producers.
It depends, if your goldfish are smaller than your algae eater, and big enough to fit in it's mouth, then very much so. If the goldfish are small, but too big to fit into your algae eater's mouth, then he might just injure them. But your algae eater shouldn't be so small that your goldfish could eat it. The rule with fish that I always go by is, if it can fit into it's mouth, it will be eaten.
NO, not usually.
No he's not.
