What are the tank dimensions?

lima shovelnose? raphael cat?

I'm thinking a nice Juruensis. They grow to about 19-20" and are beautiful.

Pimelodus Ornatus?
Juruensis grow too big.

Or you could just get a Mbu puffer.

It appears you like large Pim look, so we can stick to Pims. Otherwise, the question is too broad.

I'd advise to pick a cat that will not exceed 1.5' TL for sure but better 1'.

a group of Sorubim elongatus or Pimelodus ornatus would look good in there too.

I love my Lima shovel and channels
but you would need something for mid. Level of the tank like I got a Lima but some pbass or blue gill/sun fish

I suspected that, so IMO your fish should grow to no more than a foot.
