not a good idea. you'll probably end up with a bunch of dead or blind fish, eyes pecked out.

Considering the catfish, I'd recommend something peaceful, like corydoras or otos.

Try Synodontis. Not as aggressive, should be fine with your yellow labs.

Honestly, don't even think about it. Synodontis all the way, trust me. I'm more of a BR pleco fan myself, just saying.

If you're looking for alternatives to Synodontis, I'd recommend Syno petricola, lucipinnis, or multipunctatus. They're super social, do best in groups, and have that same playful vibe as corys - makes them a great substitute. They can be pricey, though.

Pim catfish might work, but I'd still say Synodontis is the safer bet.

No, Pims aren't suitable either. The Rift Valley Synodontis are your best bet, they're more compatible with the Yellow Labs and Elongatus mbenji yellow tail you're planning to keep.
