Mixing Different sized Pseuda pleco

I recently bought a 2 inch L25 pleco.
I placed him into my pleco tank which houses some bigger L24s , L200, L128, L048 and L014.

since i bought him i have not seen him come out to eat, though i know his hiding spot in the big Driftwood , every time i drop some food my old PSeudas would come out to eat , since i've had them for a while now, but have not seen my L25 come out to join them.

how do i make sure he also gets food to eat? i do drop a lot of food even when lights off but not sure if he comes out.

or would it be better to have him in a separate tank on his own?

This one is hard to say, honestly. They can be quite obnoxious with newcomers. I would probably put him in a separate tank if you have one up and established already, just to ensure that shipping stress didn't keep him from thriving.
