Should be fine,as exodons prefer to attack scaled fishes,u might be able to get some pictus too as they have no scales
I didnt know that, its interesting. the guy at lfs said that you want the toughest scaliest fish because they would try to go for the plecos belly
Scaled fish is the way to go. Plecos/catfish should be fine as they need to have spines or hard plates to protect themselves.
Pictus wouldn't be the best choice there with exodons.

Depends on the pleco
They may heavily pick on each other in smaller schools. Make sure there is hiding space
Years ago I had a single exodon in a 40 long with a school of bleeding hearts without problems but I am now thinking I was just lucky
When I had my group of 18, I kept them with armored bottom dwellers. Now that my brother has them, he's got them with pictus cats, bristlenose plecos and so far he said they don't bother the cats and pleco. I think as long as you have enough cover and caves for the bottom dwellers they'll be fine.
