These come from Lake Malawi

Many of the Synodontis from Lake Tanganyika can be recommended for such a tank, or are active and generally available.

There is a large variety of different Cichlids available from Lake Malawi...what kinds are in this tank?

Hay M'bunas y aulonocaras
There M'buna and Aulonocara

Synodontys euptera es la única especie que se comercializa en Argentina, aunque algunas veces llegan importaciones de S. Negriventris
Synodontys euptera is the only species that is sold in Argentina, but sometimes imports arriving S. Negriventris

Definately not Nigriventris.

Euptera could be added (& they often are) but it is not ideal.

Common bristlenose are very adaptable and frequently added - i have some in my tanganyikan tank

Though I love to come and hang around, I am not much of an expert in these matters!! But there are some solid suggestions here and I am sure you’ll find the best catfish to put in your tank with the African cichlids that you now have – hope we see some pictures soon!!
