'upside downs' can be referring to the entire synodontis family - what species exactly were you thinking of? and each species lives in a different pH and alkalinity, so it would depend. All synos are African, so it wouldnt be an especially natural companion to your SA tank
how big are your tanks, what kind of fish
neither if you are ever planning to breed your fish - they eat the eggs
multiounctus - do you mean multipunctatus?

but you know..if by upside down catfish, you specifically mean synodontis nigriventris, that would be a good choice for a SA tank
and multipunctatus would be an okay choice for an mbuna tank. the thing is - the cat comes from lake tanganyika, and the mbunas come from malawi, and that makes a big difference for the fish species and water chemistry.
synos that live in malawi:
Synodontis njassae
other than that, the multi i think may be the best choice

yes, the nigirventis
no, i cannot spell and meant the multipunctus....its for a malai setup
i'll look around for njasse, but i think the multi is easier to get a hold of

I have pictus cats in with my SA cichlids, they get along well. The 4-lines get much bigger than the spotted.
