I have a Pictus in my 55g I've had for 6 years. Love him, but I'm trying to change it up and get a few new fish for the 120g.. You know, do some research and make it unique to what I've owned before.
120g Big enough for Redtail Catfish?

For a RTC you're going to need a pond/big big tank. These guys get huge. Even as a grow-out tank a 120 will be useless within a few months. I would say 700 to a thousand + gallons for them to be comfortable and healthy. I made the mistake of trying to use my 220 as a growout for a RTC hybrid, I ran out of room within 4 months.
another vote for an irwini..I had one and loved it. I know you moved on from the rtc but did you check out that sticky on top of the page? It is a good read for anyone interested in owning a rtc..
Pretty but they are monsters they need some space

Not THAT much time. Most of those guys get really really big. Not quite as fast as an RTC but they're fast growers.
