Ok so before i you guys lay into me let me explain my situation. I called the local pet store (a bunch of idiots) I asked them if i may place an order on 4 synodontis cats for my 125 gallon african setup. They did and i was excited because i have been looking forever to find these fish! Anyways so i go to pick them up, and its not the fish that i wanted.... Already paid for.... I told them i wanted synodontis cats, and now i have 4 sun cats. They wouldnt allow me to take my money back and i figured i have extra tanks if need be. So I did some research on these sun cats they grow up to 18 inchs which is fine, if they ever made it that big i can put them in my pond. Anyhow I read online they will be fine with anything about there size and larger EXCEPT AFRICAN CICHLIDS! This was after they were put in the tank, they seem to be holding there own very well. The cichlids are curious but not aggressive and almost scared? The Pleco loves them!

My two concerns are will they be picked apart bullied and terrified? Living a miserable life? And if they dont then when the start growing should i then worry about cichlids disapearing?

Thanks,
Mike
