Think our concern is if the birchir is going to swallow the pleco, if there is any such attempts, it's best the birchir dun choke else we lose both. Then the other concern is pleco sucking on birchir body, then size does not matter.

Used to keep endi n ibs buy fei feng and end up fei feng sucking on endi body. Remove ff n add ray pup, the endi bite chunks off the ray

Hi bro,

Its only a matter of time for the pleco to suck the bichirs. I had kept an albino pleco for around 6 months and one fine day, I realised 1 of my juv endy's half body turned pale then I realised my pleco started the sucking.

So best to seperate your plecos from bichirs / rays.
