What size tank do you have to put them in? If you are only planning on getting the tank don't pick one of these giants up until you do. Most catfish will be done with cichlids especially any of the synodontis cats

I think some people use pictus catfish too

I have a synodontis eruptus with Africans and IMO he's awesome. They do get chunky though.

I have synodontis lucipinnis (dwarf petricola) in with my cichlids that get around 4inches so depending on your tank size these would be perfect. I dont really know anything about the ones you mentioned wanting though to be more helpful
