My pleco don't purposely seek out my bichirs. Of course he will give them a little thrashing when they get too close but he does that to any of my fish. I have had 4 different plecos with my bichirs over the past 2 years(had 16 poly's at one point now only 3) and never once had a problem. Not saying that it won't never happen, just stating that I have never had this problem. I constantly see this information being stated but have failed in my time of being here on MFK to actually see any proof of this happening. If someone can point me in the direction of a thread showing some proof of a pleco sucking on a bichir I would gladly put it into consideration.
Try some diced up shrimp or tilapia. I was feeding worms for a little bit till my old ornate just didn't seem to want them anymore, but I still kept the diet varied.

try to give your bichir guppy that is cut in half (so that it can smell it better) if its not sick it will seek out the dead guppy..
