I've been recommended pictus and upside-down catfish. I don't know how they will be with chiclids (they're aggressive, right?).

a school of synodontis petricola, maybe 5, they are from lake tang and do very with with african cichlids, they even use african cichlids to breed

I have 3 featherfin synos and love them. They are very active and never hide

featherfins get very large and quite ugly, petricola are dwarf synodontis and ina school they are very fun to watch
