The only catfish I would try to keep with large cichlids is something that grows large and can defend itself like a Plecostomus. Don't expect any catfish to eat rubbish or poo. They won't.

When choosing tank mates for cichlids, it's important to consider fish that can handle their aggressive behavior. Some compatible tank mates for cichlids include certain species of catfish (such as plecos), some species of barbs and tetras, and certain types of bottom-dwelling fish like loaches. It's crucial to research each potential tank mate's compatibility and care requirements before adding them to a cichlid tank.
