How many you can keep will definitely depend on the filtration that you have for the tank. Can you give us an idea of what kind of filters you are running?
i have a 400-500 lph external filter and tetratec 1000 and there will be regular large water changes

Catfish of the Synodontis family like "Synodontis multipunctatus" seem to go well with african cichlids. I would suggest only one or two with that size of tank.
40 gallon about 12 to 20 depending on water changes i would go with more to curve aggresion they are a aggresive fish at times

I'd rather reccommend the synodontis petricola as a tankmate for the labs. Very awesome african catfish which maxes around 3.5 inches. See if you like them.
