Ornate and lap

Only question I have is since growth rate varies, should I be worried? That one may outgrow the other and eat it? Here's some pics they're about the same length but the ornate is slightly thicker. They're about 7-9 inches taking a rough estimate, and in a 120 feeding on mainly freeze dried krill. Oh and how could I tell if they're we or cb? I assume by the head length, but I've no other to compare to.

Also they're in with a large common pleco about 14 inches, the thought of getting a smaller more appealing pleco has been crossing my mind maybe that reaches a max if 12 inches, but I don't want to get it and this one not behave well and suck on the slime coats, the one I have has never tried or anything, so I don't want to get rid of him and get another if the other would be a problem, he keeps any algae off the glass and eats pellets. What do you guys think? Try a smaller, nicer species, or stay with him.

Thank you, and I know they're known for sucking the slime coat off and killing the bichirs. That's why I asked. And they've laid under him withou him trying a thing. Obviously and exception to the rule. I've had him with larger Senegals before. So I knew he was fine. I've had him for a couple years now. He's at about 14 inches maybe larger. But alright thanks I won't bother with another pleco. And is it because their growth rates will be similar?
Lap might be a little longer the ornate was little bent though can't tell.

Alright, the pleco will go, not a problem. And thank you, should I be expecting a certain growth or random since it goes by individual?
