Cichlids and Catfish

[Dr.Petty]

I need some help on what type of catfish i can mix with African Cichlids. I have 2 with them now in a 180 tank and are doing fine but the Cichlids are juvies right so that may change. I have no clue what type they are just hoping someone with more knowledge about this can help.

I have attached 2 pics of the catfish in question.

Any synodontis will work. I have a featherfin with mine and I also have a channel cat with them and he's fine too

Thanks alot Tank. Can u tell what type the ones i have are?

 

[Tank9498]

No problem and I think that might actually be some type of synodontis. Does it have spots or stripes or anything like that on it?

 

[Dr.Petty]

well the small brown one in the first pic does but the bigger black one is just solid.

First one looks like a type of syno. Can you get a side shot of the second one?
