IMO, Ornates, Weeksii and Teugelsi should be treated as "lower jaws" when it comes to overall size.
My Weeksii and Teug both grew incredibly fast and big, and IMO would need more than 75g.
And Ornates, I'm sure you already know.

teugs only grow to 14 to 16 inches tops. you can't fit one in a 75?? weeksi grow to around 16 to 18 inches.
At 16" I wouldn't keep one in that tank myself.
And weeksiis get over 20". Definately too big for a 75.
As TGM stated, they also grow fast, so you'll need an upgrade in short order.

14" is going to be your limit for that tank. I'd stick with senegals, dels, palmas sp., etc., and even then, I'd keep the population at 6 or less (10x 14" fish in a 75 gallon is insanity imo, let alone 15).
