Ok Synodontis are out of the question as the smaller ones would be eaten and the larger types may be prone to slime coat sucking ( Particularly Synodontis Eupterus)

I would say perhaps Hoplo Catfish might be ok... a good robust non-aggressive catfish..

bolty what type of catfish is that in your pic??? doesnt look like a pictus

i checked them out and the hoplo looks like a good species + getting to be 7 inches long i doubt my other fish will bother it. thanks for all your help and advice guys.
