I have a type of algae growing on the back wall of my tank and not sure what kind it is. It's a fairly light green and doesn't seem to be coming off when I use one of those algae scrubber pads.

The tank is a 35 gallon that used to have 3 ottos but now done to only 1. I really only see the ottos sucking on the plants and occassionally the glass but not often. Would a pleco eat this stuff?

Sounds to me like regular green spot algae - its normal, nothing to worry about really. Nothing eats it really, but usually people scrape it off with a razor blade in glass tanks and a non abrasive buffer pad for acrylics.
