Hey bro, haven tried that combination and i am still new to poly keeping.

Anyways i've read that pleco might hurt a poly due to their slime coat?
Not sure tho but would love to find out too. =)
As for catfish, i have no idea.

Gonna wait for someone as i am also planning to put a pleco in my poly tank.

Many of the times Polys and larger pleco, sailfish and common, don't work because the pleco actually sucks on the slime coat of the poly, causing stress, vulnerability and even death. I personally have seen it when I tried this combination, so I moved the pleco. As for the four lines and other fish, if they don't fit in the Polys mouth and won't pick on the bichir, then it will probably work
