My favorite is the synodontis/upside down catfish. I have an african featherfin in my 125 and he is always cruising around looking for food day and night. He is also able to hold is own pretty well against my cichlids one of which is a red devil.

I have to look for mine. Do you have more than one? How do I get him out from under the filter.

Giant raphael catfish are pretty common in peoples aggressive community tanks here, armoured vacuum cleaners honestly

How about whip tail catfish? Stay around 5-6 inches and mine is a pretty good cleaner. Very under appreciated catfish

They are nice indeed but very fragile, I doubt they would survive a VATF and cichla. I recommended raphaels due to their size, protection and ravenous appetite
