looking for a nice size catfish to go with my oscar. it'll be a bare bottom tank. so I'll need to have something that doesn't need a substrate.
cat for 75gallon?

I think the catfish shouldn't exceed half of the tank's width and shouldn't fit in oscar's mouth.
One can filter the Cat-eLog on PlanetCatfish by max size and see what one likes, can find and afford, etc.
Other important things to consider are if a catfish is a bottom dweller or not, a hider or not, a shoaling kind, timid or bold, an active swimmer or rather sedentary, etc.
HTH.

Many synodontis fit the bill, but I think a large cat and an oscar is quite the bioload. What filtration are you running?
ya youll be pushing that 75 with regards to bioload....
synos as suggested would be ok.

To throw in a variety of opinions, I think 75 gal may be a bit tight size-wise but I'd not think of bio-filtration as the necessary bottleneck in this scenario.
things are getting to be repetitive. everyone asks a question regarding stocking and the answer almost always seems to be " nope too small of a tank, you'll be over stocked. nobody has asked what my water parameters are currently or my waterchange schedule. as well as what filtration I have.which is 2 ac110s and a sun sun canister. I change my water every 3 days regardless of nitrates. and I test ammonia daily. so instead of giving me run on the mill answered about how I should own a pond because I have an Oscars how about you guys try and actually answer the question being asked.
They've answered your question to the best of their ability. No need to get worked up. To answer your question simply, I wouldn't keep anything that gets over a foot personally.
