If I subtract the last 3 fish on the list, and the Africans, is there any catfish, non-pleco or non-Synodontis that I could add that would be compatible in terms of aggression or being able to eat/get eaten

Just trying to get ideas thanks!
 
How about doradids or bagrids? Have you looked up on those?

I'm really liking Horabagrus brachysoma as well. Do they mix well with other species of catfish or are they aggressive with other bottom fish?
 
I've had my 3 (7 to 8") with a 6" pimelodus and a couple of 5" stripped raphaels. They didn't seem to care one way or the other, the pim would often school with them.

Only drawback with these guys is they are slow growers.
