Thanks!!
 
i think that the first catfish is p. siamensis any other photos
 
Yeah that 2nd one is def a euruptus but not sure about the first one. I know here we call it a bumblebee catfish and it is from asia somewhere but not sure of the scientific name. Mystus just doesnt sound right. I know it gets about 6"-7" max though.
 
The first one is a bumblebee catfish (Leiocassis siamensis) grow to 15-18cm and will eat small tank mates like tetras

The second one is a Synodontis Eupterus and grow to a similar size of 15-18cm

I have 4 eupterus and get along fine with my cichlids and my brother has a bumblebee in with two trimacs and its fine just provide plenty of caves and hideaways.
