Striped Raphael Catfish + S. Bichir = ?

The Raphael will be fine they are very hard much like a pleco I have a 4"+ one in my cichlid tank w/ no problems. Twig cats however are very skittish community fish.
 
farowellas are wayyyy too fragile .

id go with a rapheal . its one im adding to my future tank, im getting one next friday so i can grow it out a bit
 
I have two raphaels: one stripped and one spotted and they did fine with my two birchirs in the big tank but they were both 3" long. now my stripped raphael is almost 4" long. and yes they are spiny.
 
mine is 8 inches and is a devil to catch, Very fun fish, I have the striped chocolate ones and the Oreo ones (black and white ones)
 
Does everyone elses raphael only come out at night because I never see mine? I guess he just has too many hiding spots.
