30 Gallon Tanganyikan Setup

[HookedOnFish_MI]

I have a 30 gallon aquarium (36”x12” footprint) with rock piles spanning the length of the tank. The tank currently has 3 Synodontis Lucipinnis in it. What Tanganyikan options do have for this tank size with the Synos? Could a single species like a Calvus work? I was thinking keeping anything in groups may be risky if breeding starts and the Synos begin getting bullied.

To be frank Altolamprologus are not much better if it comes to aggression towards other fish while brooding. If you can get mature, sexed fish at least the catfish will not run over the cichlids while patroulling the tank at night.
