Adding Bichirs to my stock? Compatibility?

[L021]

Right now I have a 120 gallon (5'x18"), 2 aquaclear 110s on it, and the following:
Common Pleco
5 Silver dollars
Green Severum

I was hoping I could add some bichirs, perhaps an ornate and a delhezi? Thoughts? Could I do one of each or would I be overstocking? If not, any ideas of other oddballs that get along with bichirs? I don't think (?) bichirs would eat any of my stock, the SDs are 5" each and the sev/plec are 10"-11".

From what I've heard...Common Plecos are notorious for sucking the slim coat off Bichirs. However, it may only be from Bichirs that lay around more. Delhezis might be a good choice as they are pretty active like Senegals. Ornates can be active, but every single Ornate I've had just lays around. So it's going to be hit or miss with a Pleco in there. Fancy Plecos are no problem as I have kept Upper Jaw species with a couple of Fancy Plecos.

I agree with Ben,but I've always wondered why risk it.

I had a pleco that sucked the slime even off my active senegal, the pleco would just follow it and latch on. I got rid of the pleco the day I saw it happen.
