Very nice.
I think those are Synodontis lucipinnis (AKA dwarf petricola) not true petricola. Whatever they will eat most Troph fry released into the tank, otherwise great with Troph I like em in my not for breeding Troph tanks too.
You might want a bigger tank and more filtration/watermovement and more Troph long term. 10 can go pearshaped awful fast when they breed.
Aim for something like this

Sadly a friends tank not mine.
As your Troph seem relatively calm you may get away with keeping Cyps in with them for a good long wile.
Must warn you though when Troph get big and are breeding the less than happy sub dom male sometimes starts killing male Cyps.

All the best James
