Need more info. What size are all the fish? It will work if the sizes are right. I have a 4 inch IT and a 7 inch NGT in with several Polys ranging from 4 inches to 11 inches and everything is fine.
 
yup it's okay to put those together. i have dats poly snowball pleco all in there. its fine.
 
keep an eye on the pleco if you do it. They can go after a bichir's slimecoat
 
As long as you target feed the pleco from time to time he shouldn't be a problem. If he just has to scrounge for algae his whole life he might get hungry for some bichir slime.
 
sorry for the delay. i currently have 12 dats ranging from 3-8"(ngt,it,ntt) and i have 1 fei feng, and 3 7" watermelon royals, 1 7" papa panaque, and 1 7" thunderline royal in the tank.
