No, you shouldn't have any problems. 6" is pretty big, generally when you buy pictus they are fairly small +/- 3 inches. They will really only try to eat things that can fit in there mouth - beware if you have guppies or neons! Pictus are a bit territorial once they pick a cave but mine just chase the other fish out. Ive never once seen them bother my small pleco.
