Follow the rules and you have a chance...
1) Raise the RBP from as small as you can get them, and with what you want to keep them with (slightly larger than the RBP). When raised with larger bully fish they tend to behave better (I had to be the bully one time...I picked on the fish for a month straight until it quit bothering the other fish).
2) Keep in a LARGE aquarium, so that everyone has their own space, territorial fights are always the start of the end.
3) Only feed frozen, or prepared foods (ground beef heart or chicken heart) free regularly (on a schedule) and remove any leftovers after 5 minutes.
4) When they are older try not to spook them, it insights them to riot.
Diligence, perseverance & Patience...Oh ya and a lotta luck.
In the long run, it's much easier to just give them their own tank.

i think its complete luck with plecos but it seems to work out for pygo tanks better than serra ones, i have a divided tank w/ a gold spilo n irritans and after one night with the new pleco only the parts of it were left haha

yes. well put.
I have plecos with my pygos.
I have plecos with my wolves.
I have had clown loaches with my pygos ( all introduced at an early age ). After a year 2 loaches were eaten I ended the mixing.
I have had luck with a Pleco (in tank before P's) and Exodon Tetras (faster then P's). Amazingly I still have a glass Catfish that I put in the tank like 2 months ago just for the hell of it, I only see it late at night when I am feeding the P's and he's trying to get a little food.
