It sucking the algae from the gravel or leftover food from the bottom so you don't need to worry. Platys do that.

It's just picking at bits of leftover food or algae. That's very common and nothing at all to worry about.

almost every fish i ever owned did this, and i never figured out why, but there's nothing to worry about. some of my rock-eaters lived for 6 years. it's just a strange fish thing.
