I am still struggling to follow what you mean. Can you break it down into short sentences with full stops?

What is a bristle plac?
 
I think he’s asking if his tank’s too clean because his bristlenose is looking thin despite him dropping in algae wafers overnight. He thinks the other fish may be eating the algae wafers

If that is the case, the OP could increase the lighting time by an hour or two per day and encourage algae to grow on the glass. The bristlenose can eat that and chew on the driftwood, in addition to eating bottom feeding pellets.

They can also put a bottom feeding pellet/ wafer in the tank a couple of hours after the lights go out. Then most of the fish should be asleep and the bristlenose can enjoy its food.
