syno cats, raphael cats...small mouthed sp. cause the large mouth ones will eat the africans if they get a chance...i have a syno and am getting a spotted raphael cat with my africans...
yes they are good fun cats for africans..sbuse;3527816; said:thats the syno cat i havei just forgot how to spell it...
Euptera, nigrita, multipuctata, petricola, and lucipinnis are the species I would look at.
If money is not much of an object, try granulosa and njassae if you can find them.

Indeed, they're from the same areas in the wild. I particularly like Syno. decorus. myself. If you have a really big tank, Giraffe cats work well too.
If you're planning on breeding, keep in mind some synos (such as S. multipunctatus) specialize in raiding cichlid nests, eating their eggs and leaving their own eggs in place. Cichlids then raise a mouthfull of catfish ...
