Canada eh
I have heard of sunshine’s working
Seen cactus and Adonis work but it is touch and go, no real rules to it, any pleco could turn out worse or better than the other. One pleco that works with an aggressive ray may not be good for a weaker more timid ray or vice versa.

so even if you have a better suited pleco, you still have to keep an eye on them. Imo

Plus Plecos have a tendency to be slime coat suckers I personally would hate to spend xxxxxx on some nice rays then have a Pleco mess them up

I have a big watermelon and an albino common with two motoros. The watermelon is a bit of a bully so they steer clear when he gets to close. Other than that no issues.

I keep my BDs with L27D for over a year now, they both coexist well. Im more concerned to the pleco since i found its fins getting nipped from time to time.

panaques, Luteus and Pseudas (L96)

Luteus Look great in a ray cohabbed aquarium.
Panaques do better with some wood and Pseudas diet is same as rays.

I keep L24, L137 and Pseudacanthicus serratus with my 3 BD rays. No issues at all.
You keep Serratus with your rays? I want to see....:drool:
I have a pair of Serratus and have been considering adding with my rays.
