Cuckoo catfish with cichlids

Hi,
I currently have 6 mbuna cichlids and 2 cuckoo catfish. I Know these catfish like being in groups of 3 or more. I want to add a 3rd catfish but I'm wondering if he will be singled out and bullied because I am only adding 1 new catfish to my already established tank.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How big is your aquarium? Cuckoo Catfish can get 8-12 inches long. If you have the tank space then there is only one way to find out.
