I'm gonna get a 75 or 90 gallon tank soon and I want a bottom dweller. I would really like a TSN, marbled pim or sailfin pim but I know these get too big so I would like something that is similar but only gets 12"-18". If not, any other nice bottom dweller is good too, I'm open to ideas.
It would have to live with 2 oscars, 2 JD's, and a gold severum.

I was considering limas. I was also thinking about ornate pims but they're hard to find.
Any other suggestions?

I wouldn't add anything else, IMO your tank is already way overstocked.

I'd remove a few of those fish b4 getting a bottom dweller.
TO help you get rid of some of those others for a bottom dweller, get a 8 inch red tail.

a sailfin pleco should only get 18" i believe u should be fine with one.
Sun Cat? sometimes called an Eclipse Cat.. don't they only get about 16"..
Overstocked? If you do your water changes and have no apparant aggression issues, I wouldn't worry about it. :)

I have two plecos and two pictus cats. I don't have any trouble with my tank being dirty!
