Thank you Grish, They are some south and Central American cichlids with some African catfish. To name a few: keyhole cichlid, Threadfin Heckelli, blue Acara, silver dollars, Firemouth, royal Acara.

Do you know specifically what the catfish are? I am looking to add a larger catfish to my SA Cichlid tank.

They're definitely Synodontis catfish... I'm thinking eupteris but I'm not well-versed on the genus by any means.

I have a fish sold as synodontis cat. I was told he'd only reach 4 in. So, are one of these a small fish? I saw this one and thought wow he looks like mine × 10!

That looks like a synodontis cf. Polli they only get to 4". But there are so many different ones its hard to be sure.
