UMMM....well, I guess if you have, like a 500 gallon tank that would be okay, otherwise, no. All of those fish get VERY large, and are pretty terrritorial. I would definitly advise against getting any of those fish, as they are best left to an experienced hobbyist with a very large tank, or public aquaria. Giraffe catfish are occasionally imported for the aquarium trade, the most popular species being Auchenoglanis occidentalis despite its large maximum size of about THREE FEET. The shovelnose will attain a maximum size of TWO FEET. And lastly, the channel cat will reach a size of at minimum 1 and 1/2 feet, max about 3 feet, and they can weigh between 2 and 50 pounds. All said, these guys are tankbusters, and not a good idea for the majority of home aquarists. You could keep the lima alone in a 125 gallon, with a couple of peaceful fish too large for him to swallow. Otherwise I forsee problems for you and problems for the fish, like stunting, ammonia poisoning, or other painful death.

They should be cool, most cats get along with each other unless there is drastic size differences.
