Im planning on changing some things up and I was wondering what the best type of cat to go with my O in a 155 gal is? Keep in mind they will eventually be put in the 300 gal.
 
Off the top of my head, without knowing dimensions of the 300 gal, as width plays an important role...

Sorubim Lima, Juruense, Tigrinus, marbled cat, maybe a Giraffe cat.
 
I've got a Feather Fin (Synodontis eupterus) in each of my 125 g Oscar tanks. But you probably mean a huge catfish, these only get to 8" or so.
 
I like the Marbeled...

What about the Red Tail or Cuckoo Cat?

Oh and I believe the dimensions are 96 x 30 x 25 but it was a long time ago that I had measured it, because it hasnt been in use for a while

Dosent nessacarily have to be HUGE, I would like something that if it were in with the Oscar there would be a lot of space for them but also still look like theres fish in there lol.....
 
If its only 30" wide I would remove the giraffe idea from my list, the rest should be OK though.

RTC is a definate NO, tanks way to small.

Not sure on the Columbian not familiar with it, check out planetcatfish.

If it was me I would go with a Juruense or a tigrinus.
