You can tell a catfish is pregnant, or "gravid," when it exhibits a noticeably swollen abdomen due to developing eggs. Additionally, female catfish may become more sedentary, seeking out a safe and comfortable nesting area. Behavioral changes, such as increased hiding or protective actions, can also indicate pregnancy. Observing these signs can help confirm if a catfish is expecting.

Channel Cat, Shovel head Catfish, there's probably more types but this all i know of
The only know shark that prey on catfish is the Bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas).
Catfish are not dangerous to human beings if you know how to do the correct procedures when handeling the catfish. The best way to unhook a catfish is to pick it up with your fingers around the frond fins holding it from the belly.
Before that question can be answered one would need to know what kind of catfish you are asking about. There are so many different species that are called "catfish" that it is impossible to make a generalisation.
I don't know much about African catfish, but plecos are very docile community fish. I've never heard of an aggressive catfish, but I don't know about that species specifically. If it's classified as a community fish or is not agressives, they'll be fine together.
The term'catfish' belongs to a family of fish that can be as small as a cory catfish, which is about 2 inches, or the size of a channel catfish, which can be between 1 & 2 feet long. There are even larger catfish than that.
