Yes, ok. Will Striped Raphael Catfish work, with the frontosas too? I'm thinking 3 Frontosas, 1 male 2 females, my 3 synodontis catfish (1 Eupterus, 1 hybrid and then one unidentified) 2 Palmas bichirs (Dont know wich Palmas, or maybe even delhezi) 2 - 4 Striped Raphael Catfish. My filtration would be 1 FX5, would i be overstocked? I'd probaly have some driftwood and rocks in the tank, no plants.
Frontosa Burundi tankmates?

Raphael cats go great with fronts in my experience.

Am i overstocked? Do you know how big a raphael catfish needs to be, before a frontosa cant eat it?
Depends on how many inches long your tank is. For example a 48in tank would require 48 inches of sand. Just kidding with freshwater fish its better to keep a shallow sand bed, as it does not have benefits like a saltwater tank. I usually just do whatever is visually appealing (.5 - 2").
As long as the fronts aren't like 10 inches and the raphaels 1 inchers, you should be ok. It depend on what size fronts you are starting off with and then the raphaels can be maybe 1/4 to 1/3 smaller/ So 6 inch frontosa should not imo bother a 2 inch raphael. But i would try to get the raphaels at around 4 inches...they grown kinda slow.
