Oh yes, and here is the blurb that got me worried about having a pleco
around with the leporinus:

I agree with this article. Small Leps are fine with fast little fish.
At about 4", the predation starts. At 6", they cannot really be trusted
with most fish. I keep them with Oscars and other large cichlids (with
no issues). During some tank moves, I put one in with a large peacock,
and they mouth wrestled (weirdest thing). The Lep didn't lose. The
Peacock figured he wasn't going to win and they both eventually stopped.
