You can but sexing them is pretty hard. You can try the synodontis petricolas, they are similar but doesn't need a host like the multis. Good luck with the search.
yea thanks.already post the petricolas too:headbang2
 
Love multipuncs. there fry is worth more than most haps anyway. so if your stripping for fry its a bonus haha
 
How big do they get, will you have to worry about large haps eating them ? I know my frontosa for example will eat smaller fish ... I have to be careful what i put in there. Its not a problem now but in the future ...
 
They get up to to 3 inches. Haps can't eat, them, they have whiskers and sharp spines preventing it. They will be safe.
 
Cant? Really? They can sure try and then you end up with two dead fish, but I too would not really worry about it happening. These guys are really cool. Of course your other fish when breeding will not agree with you. If you ever see a fish holding the cat fry it will be one of the most amazing crazy sites you will see in the hobby!!

From experience, no, but, I'm still pretty sure haps will attempt to eat the multis and choke. My friend kept multis with haps with no problems and everything was well.
