By 'Sailfin' do you mean Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps? If so, then yes. I kept a 15" P. gibbiceps with several large L190 between 8-13" for about 2 years, in a 5ft tank. There was the occasional scuffle and torn fin but nothing ever serious. Once dominance and territories are established they should be ok.
