No, your "scumbugs" would not be troubled by the "scumsuckers" !! (Why don't you use the right name for the right kind of fishes !!)

It depends on the personality of the fish but in most cases, betta fish usually don't pay attention to the other fish in the tank as long as they don't have big fins. I don't think you don't have to worry about your betta attacking your algae eater. I have a betta with a cherry barb and they get along fine.

A male betta will fight with other male bettas or fish that sort of look like them, like dwarf gouramis. You probably have to worry more about other fish that want to nip the betta's fins. You should have no problem with your "scumsuckers" if they are plecos, but sometimes Chinese algae eaters can get aggressive..

Actually you have more to worry about your Betta, assuming that you mean 2 Chinese Algae eaters. Chinese algae eaters when mature can and will get around the 5 -7" range. When that happens they actually will become overly aggressive and start sucking the slime coat off your Betta among other fish.
Good Luck

bettas become motionless when they sleep, the suckerfish might eat him, but hopefully they will be ok
