What Other fish, especially bottom dwellers do you think, or have you kept with cichlids and not had many problems with one picking on the other? All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh I have a wide 150.
 
School of Syno. Petracoli(sp) slow growers and stay small about 4". Bushy/Bristle nose pleco. They are not active during the day but due an excelent job clean algae off of glass at night.
 
I have a spotted pictus cat, 2 reg pleco 7", and a 5" rainbow shark in with my africans and they do just fine.
 
I've seen common plecos kept with them but I stick with the synodontis cats.
 
Thanks for all of your suggestions. After reading them and doing some more research , I have my LFS getting me some Synodontis Multipuntatus. My research says that they do well with cichlids and that they don't seem to be as nocturnal as some of the other species.





1x 20 gal dwarf puffers
1x 20 gal tetras red claw crabs
1x 150 gal african cichlids
1x 300 TBD
 
i have the multis with my africans, just make sure to get a few, when i had one he never came out of his cave, i got him 2 buddies and now all three come out day, night and even get involved in the feeding time frenzy
