Simple answer, no. Completely different water parameters needed with pictus being from soft water tropical south america and mbunas from the hard, alkaline water of the rift valley...

The only thing you could do would be synodontis of some form, but I don't think you have space in a 30 with the stocking list you want. Stick to cichlids and don't overcomplicate it, you'd never see the catfish anyway if you decorated the tank properly to fit theirs and the cichlids needs.
