L340

Hello beautiful people, I will need your help regarding L340.
So I got 5x L340 and 4x bristlenose, got them 3 months ago, both 3-4 cm in size.
L340: One of them died 2 days later, bloated, signs of a liver sickness. Second one died last week, no signs of ill, sickness, wound or any sign at all, its colors were vivid and it showed signs of healthiness. Now, 3 months passed and got 3 of these left they dont eat a lot, they are not very active, they dont play or fight, they are just.. standing there most of the time, rarely i see them eating or moving. They are behaving like day 1, no changes in their behavior.
Bristlenose: none died, none showed any signs of sickness or illness, they are VERY active and eat alot, play a lot and fight a lot (no wounds), they were shy at first but then they started to...enjoy everything.
I know these are 2 different species, but they live in my community tank, bristlenose is thriving and L340 is not, water is CRYSTAL clean, i got mopane wood and red moor, i feed them with JBL pleco food tablets + flakes from time to time, no major fluctuations in the enviroment.
Temperature is mostly around 26-27 Celsius, I have read that this is acceptable for both of the species, and still one bristlenose is in paradise and L340 is not enjoying life, please help me understand what I do wrong?
