It depends on the tank size. and what dwarf are you talking about.

You could keep them together for a while until the Ctenopoma gets close to its adult size (6 - 8 inches). Then the Ctenopoma might begin to look at the dwarf cichlids more as menu items than as tank-mates. The Keyhole Cichlids should be OK but the Apistogramma might eventually be in peril.

do you know how long it takes them to get full sized from about a 1 1/2in?

I currently have three Ctenopoma acutirostre that I bought at about 2 inches about six months ago. They are currently about 4 inches long.
