You can scrub the rocks with the algae brush too. Or just take the plant and the rock out and scrub them then put them back in.
and in your sig if you want the regular name, instead of saying Hemichromis frempongi you can just call it a Jewel cichlid.
I know but, they all look the same......its better than spitting out that scientific name every time you describe it. They're all listed together but only 2 have common names but are all listed as African Jewel Cichlids. This site has good info:

Looks like the frempongi is more rare than the others and is limited to one or few lakes in Ghana.

I have 3 smaller rubbernose plecos with my full grown african peacock cichlids. I have a 55 gal with tons of rock, the rubbernoses do a great job on the rocks by far the best of all the plecos that i have tried. You just need places for them to hid e and get away from being picked on. They are also mostly nocturnal and are active when the other fish arent. I would highly recommend them.
