My favorite catfish are bullhead, any of them...brown, yellow, spotted, black. I personally have a brown bullhead and he is the most interactive catfish I have ever had. In addition to that, he is also the cheapest fish I have ever had. :)
Another favorite is the various pimlodus like caveman suggested. Ornate, pictus, white line...the're all good.

Tigrinus or Juruense. Granted, they'll outgrow the tank eventually, a nice powerhead will keep them comfy.

:hitting:
ok seriuosly it a 90gal lets get a few more thx (bump)
go with the Pim Ornatus there really pretty and pretty active
Pim Ornatus is a good choice ;) They do get big too though! Up to 16" I believe .. Most cats will outgrow that 90!
What about a Syndontis?.., many of those species do not get very large..
Maybe lean over to the LOACH family? A school of clowns, or a fat yo-yo is always cool..

How about the Syndontis multipunctatus, very pretty, active in the daytime, maxs out at 11". Not aggressive. This pic is by Johnny Jensen.

all great fish guys really was thinking pims but i went with a couple of suncats really like the color and the way they act always moving as long as the lights are dim
Some of the suggestions would not have worked for a 90g, lol. P.niger or tsn in a 90? Aren't most 90s 48" long and 18" wide? Seems a bit crowded for a fish more than 3' long.
