The absolute best catfish cleaners for Malawi Cichlids are Synodontis catfish. They are a little pricey, but keep the place clean. I have a johanni cichlid that is insanely territorial, and will only let the catfish com into his little alcove.
The bigger your cichlids, the bigger the synodontis, they're about $13 for a 2'
If you can get away with that, do so. Butif you need bigger, you'll have to stretch out that wallet a bit.
Synodontis will get around a foot long, but blend in very well without disturbing the beautiful veiw of the cichlids.

I have a four-line catfish in my tank, and he holds his own VERY well.
Aside from the m.auratus, he's the most aggressive one in the tank so he's not picked on by any of the other fish.
