Hey Russell,
They should get along fine.
Give them time to get used to each other.
They do NEED drift wood to rasp on and aide digestion,so get some if you haven't yet.
Don't feel like others are "ripping your head off".
Some of us have been keeping fish for over 35 years(many more) and just want to help you avoid the "pitfalls" many have encountered.
Those two fish equal 50-100 tetras on your filter.(and your tank maintenance schedule)
 
I really hope they will as i wanted them both in there to get a long and yes i have two bits of wood to go back in there mu boy was so happy we got new fish today and he gets a 2nd pleco i had to take them out as he wanted to aee both of them and yes i know about the filter and water changes i have two 1000 liter filters on there all ready and a 3rd for spear if needed but so for all been good and im trying to find big wood for the tank we been today but no luck only little bits vut for £30 i couldnt tell my boy no if you know whatbi mean
