the cat in my pic has a light broun colour and not white/silver as in the link you gave me.
is it still a Synodontis ocellifer?

Synodontis ocellifer is more of a beige/brownish color than silver. Synodontis nigrita is another possibility, but the spots are too large to be that of S. nigrita.

Most cichlids that are not too aggressive should do fine. This depends on whether you want hard-water or soft-water cichlids (the syno would be happier in soft water, but should have no problem adjusting to hard water).

All cichlids are aggressive to some extent, just some more than others.
