It's around 5"+ at the moment. I aquired him this afternoon when I purchased a used 180 gallon on Craigslist.

Definitely a pictus. About maxed out also. I've had one up to 6" though so you never know. One of the most common cats in the hobby.
Pictus. The less-prominently-spotted colombian variety. They grow a bit bigger too than the other one - Peruvian variety.
To answer your other question: what are tank dimensions?
Thanks' I may pick up a blochii or ormatus when the 180 is running. Is there another cool "for life" cat I could do instead?
As these guys should not exceed ~1', I think they will work well. As for the coolness and hotness, it varies greatly because it is a matter of tasteI suggest filtering the entire PCF Cat-eLog by size - e.g., go to blochii datasheet and click on "same", "near" or "nearer" links in the size box to see what happens. But this is just size. There are availability and price factors too.
If you are into pims, look at the catfish genus Aguarunichthys, these are muscular-looking smallish pims, rare and IMO very cool http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=203
