catfish for a mbuna tank?

[HazMATT]

i was wondering if there are any catfish species that can be successfully housed with african cichlids. my tank currently contains 1 frontosa, 6 zebra cichlids, 1 auratus cichlid, and 1 yellow lab. any help with picking any non-cichlid tankmates that are from the same region or at least from africa would be very helpful.

cheers

I have numerous Syn Petracola and Mustache cats in my 150 tang tank, you could also try some multipunks

I've got Striped Raphael
Asian Upside down (Mystus leucophasis)
Synodontis ocellifer
Syno. eupterus
all get along w/ the cichlids just fine. A little pushing at feeding time, but no aggression. The Syno. do have times when they chase each other from dif. overhangs, but again, nothing serious.

petricola are awesome catfish, you can do a group of them, and they get about 3" long
