Can goldfish glofish plecos and an algae eater live together?
Yes, unless it is the carnivorous type. Plecos usually are herbivorous and would not eat, or even harm, a goldfish, or other fish in that matter. The person above me is right...Most plecos get very large though (2 feet!). There are two types that are relitvly small though. The first is a brsitlenose (or is it bristlestone?) and then the rubberlip pleco. The bristlenost gets to only 3 or 4 inches and is not aggressive. The rubberlip gets to about 6-8 inches and can be slightly aggressive when an adult to weaker, smaller fish. So If you get the RLP, i would only keep it with some fancies (lionhead, ryukin, oranda...etc.). I would get some places for the pleco to hide because goldfish like to poke at the pleco. Sometimes plecos will eat the slime coat of goldfish (so agressivly that they put a hole in the stomach) and can kill the goldfish. It just all depends on the fish though.
Why does my plecostomus eat goldfish tail they have been together in the same tank for 2 week and he has just started to eat the goldfish tail?
Plecostomus are famous for attacking and eating goldfish! NEVER put them in a pond or aquarium together. Many people think that plecos are vegetarian, but they are omnivors. If they are hungery, they will eat what ever they can get in their mouths, and gold fish don't swim that fast! Seperate those fish or in time your goldfish will be gone! As long as you are feeding it okay then it shouldn't eat your other fish.

In the long run, keeping tropicals like plecos and goldfish together will end up with one of the two losing, since goldfish require periodic dips in temperature that the pleco will no endure. For the immediate case, however, is the pleco eating? Plecos can be finicky about getting adjusted to a new home, and will stop eating for a time. Since goldfish also eat plant material and compete with the plecos for small amounts of algae, it might just be starving to death. You might try blanched romaine lettuce, strips of blanched zuchini or even boiled peas to coax it to eat.
