I moved your topic, as it's got more to do with the fish than with the tank they are kept in (you posted in "Tank Talk").

There is some information on L052 on the Cat-eLog page:
Some more info that should apply to L052 can perhaps be found on other species.

As to feeding, I would have thought that Courgette(Zucchini) would be a fine food, but you may want to try some other foods too - potato, sweet potato (the ones that are pink/orange on the inside), etc. Note that just trying a new food once is probably a bad idea, as most plecos don't recognise new food that quickly.

L127 is a bit less well documented, as it's not determined which genus it is. Husbandry shouldn't be terribly different from for example Dekeyseria or Peckoltia.

It will also be helpful if you'll read the sticky at the top of the forum and include the information requested there. It's nearly impossible to guesstimate the possible cause without knowing what's going on in the tank. The answers to all of those questions will help us to help you. Thanks!
