There must be some fish from asia that would be able to stay with it..

clown knife, true giant gourami, big clown loaches.

I think the cost of big clown loaches would be pretty high.. compared to the other fish..

Whoah. Slow down.
artc's dont mix with other fish. There are some exceptions to the rule that I can think of, but in any case you will learn by trial and error like I have.
First off, you need a large tank. I would say 200+ gallons to house the Artc for life, and a larger tank will be needed to mix other species.
Since the artc is a bottom dwelling catfish, make sure it is the ONLY bottom dweller in the tank. territory fights will end in death.
so, your choices are limited- a large, aggro mid water fish or an arro that can hold its own. Also search for top water fish. Maybe an archer fish? You could also try a school of 2-3 scombs
you should be able to find a fish to mix with it, as artc's are very adaptable to water conditions. question is, what wont they kill?
