Ahh found it. Also let's send a shout out to the man who made the valuable information that made it possible for me to mention it here. thebiggerthebetter

Synodontis cats are probably the best bet. An angelicus or decorus would do fine in a 75.

Black lancer cat and harlequin lancers are sone other options. Dont see them as often and theyre quite majestic.

Ornate pims are about the size you're talking about, but i think they do best in groups in larger tanks. Very active fish with long whiskers. I think a four lined pim is a better choice for a 75.

If youre going north american, bullheads and some of the madtoms reach that size.

Goldiella eques and raphaels are yet other options.

Well turns out I was wrong with 2 things.
1. He stated the size in his sale thread above that they only grew to 12 inches.
2. They actually achieve full size in 2-2.5 years like he said

I'll find that thread about the shovelnose catfish now.

Will defenitley look out for one of them if they only get 12”, look like great cats

I would recommend talking to Tom maguire. He says he hasn't seen any in years. He was selling them for $100 a piece. I don't know how much shipping will be for you but it was $50 for me. I'd ask if he had any left and if he does jump on one, they are a truly unique fish and deserves some love.

So the tsn cross you have only gets 12”?

 

[fishhead0103666]

If what Tom maguire says is true then yes. I trust him but I always take everything someone says that's a statement with a grain of sand so I'll get back to you on that question after 5 years lol.

I live in the uk so I think shipping will be to expensive
