I have had no problems, as long as keep the size ratio close but I have had large rays and small pups in my predator tank at time and no problem at all. I do have lots of cover and hidding spots for the bichers and they pretty much make claim to there cave and everyone leave everyone alone. Here a link to my predator tank with a 8" marble motoro that been in there since he was a pup.

Tough job since both are bottom dweller and there is bound to be conflict. But its doable. Try keeping some of the most active bichirs like senegals, delhezis that usually likes to hang around the top. Only problem is that they don't grow big so you can only comm them with smaller sized rays
