Dwarf Giraffe Catfish with Africans?

[Joshmac8]

I saw today at my LFS 3-4 Dwarfe Giraffe Catfish mixed in with some African cichlids....is this a really good choice? I mean, you could tell some had some scars probably from the africans but they seem to hold their own. Right now they are 5" and only $10 so i think its a good deal! What do you think?


The fish i have are pictured below ( taken today )

a synodontis would probably be a better option from what I've seen

I heard the dwarfes get up to 8 inches and I think 10 bucks is a steal.....the african tank is 120 gallons.....

Where did you hear this from? They top out at like 8". Regular giraffe's get like 30", so I'm unsure where your coming from.
