I must warn you that Metynnis are very timid and easily scared and they love plants. So combining them with Clarias and plants doesn't seem a very good idea, especially when you'll add that Terror of Texas fish (C*****d??). I guarantee you that this combination is doomed to fail.
Perhaps you'd better choose a Characin with more braveness, although I'd say that very little can be combined with Clarias. Sorry.

And I'd say: see for yourself.
I pity the poor Metynnis, however.
