Wondering about any predatory catfish that can live for life in a 75g I’m wanting something similar to bullseye my rtc hybrid but also something that won’t eat everything in sight

Here is a list

spotted pictus catfish (I have one and he is a cool fish)

Bullhead catfish

wood catfish (Most species)

SOLO Gulper

Lancer catfish (might be a little big for a 75g)

Ornate pimelodus

4 line pim (might be a little big)

those are just a couple

Anything that has a pattern similar to my rtc hybrid
 
some of the wood catfish have nice spotting kind of like a rtc/tsn but have you looked at Pseudopimelodus bufonius (Giant bumble bee catfish)? they have a pretty similar body shape.

Actually, I love the look of that fish. I’ve seen them once at a store before and they’re ere really small, how big do these get I do like this look it kind of makes me think of a flash catfish
 
planet catfish has a page on them. They generally wont mess with fish to big to be eaten which planet catfish says is any fish that is more than 25-50% the length of the fish. they are also greedy feeders.
What about vulture catfish? I know they can get a bit bigger but commonly 15”
 
Rtc/tsn Rtc/tsn no vultures are very active fish and would not have a good life in a 18" wide tank. If im not mistaken thebiggerthebetter thebiggerthebetter has some huge vultures that looked to me to be 18" plus in his videos.
