Bichirs and open top tanks?

I've never seen a bristlenose bother a bichir. Just saying pleco is way to general.
My rope range from the new little guy at about 8" to the three adults pushing a bit more than 12" each.

True that bristle nose aren't notorious suckers but they serve as a dangerous choking hazard for large bichirs. I wouldn't risk it.
