any bottom feeder suggestions that will go with blue acaras, and convicts?
 
Synodontis eupterus is supposedly a mean little SOB...

Raphaels are virtually indestructible with their armor.
 
Totally agree with Chil. I have two eupterus in my Malawian tank and they go out of their way to be the ones picking fights. Otherwise I've kept spotted pictus with acaras and never had any problems. For cons, make sure you have caves and such for the cats to get into if they need to. And remember, if you're going to breed anything, be prepared to loose alot of fry, and maybe a few cats whose hunger is too strong.
 
are they breeding cons?

not sure about the acaras, but i have had decent luck with striped and spotted raphaels, pictus, 4 line pim, and strangely enuf... synodontis nigriventis (sp?). give them places to hide like was stated, and if the cons breed you still might have a problem with aggression. cons are VERY aggressive when they are guarding eggs or fry.
