I have a Common, a Ryukin and a Pleco living in the same tank .Here is a pick:

My question is: is it safe to keep them together or will they get aggressive when I am not watching ? I know that the common goldfish grows a lot and I will have to find a new place for him but I want to keep them together until they grow too much. I also know that Pleco can get very aggressive and they can even kill the other goldfishes if they are not fed appropriately, is there any special type of food or anything to ensure that he is well fed and doesn´t attack the other goldfishes ? Also, how can you tell if the Pleco is sucking the slime coat of my other fishes ? I have noticed a small change in one of my goldfishes scale.
Thanks.
