Yes, they will be fine in a large enough tank.

Strange the OP would want someone to reply by email rather than on here? Something smells fishy

I had the same in my tank and they didn't get on at all. The pleco was a late arrival mind after my brother-in-laws tank sprung a leak and he gave up after that. Was on the verge of taking him to the shop which has a large tank for homeless unwanted pleco's but my Synodontis which was around ten years old somehow didn't survive when i had to move my tank.

Are you sure of your Synodontis euptera identification? Many synos come into the trade mididentified, for example I have a lovely placid fully gorwn (for a hobby fish) ~10cm SL Synodontis congica that would not "hurt a fly" that was ordered online as a Synodontis notata, that reach ~25cm in the hobby and can vary hugely in temprement and will happily munch on small tankmates (I thankfully have since acquired a well behaved notata, but I am not prepared to risk it with my recently bought group of Pareitropius cf. mandevillei).

Can you be a lot more precise about your "pleco catfish"? There are just a few... hundred! http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/family.php?family_id=4

Euptera can be a bit fiesty and spiteful, especially with smaller tankmates (known to predate and kill fish like Neon Tetras quite happily), but should be reasonably compatable with fish that will reach a similar size in the hobby (15-20cm SL, length excluding the tail fin).
