Most outgoing catfish

[LiamIrons]

Isn't 24" a much more usual max size in captivity, even for the big species? Of course it's further complicated by the fact that I believe there are a couple almost identical Giraffe Cat species, some of which only get like 18"...

even for a 24" fish you'd need like a 500gal

Since your focusing on bottom dwellers why not loaches for the 75g? Yes the clowns will get large but plenty other loaches dont for interactivity for the family. Its nice to see a school of loaches in there being active. Even tho this is a catfish section.

Theres a couple of species I kept that was very active but not easy to obtain for the common aquarist having to wait out on availability for imports versus a loach which is more popular. Most cats hide.

For a pond , redtail simply because they are always looking for food and interacting. For a tank, has to be hoplo cats simply because no one told them they were catfish, and they just don't hide.

RTCs by far, might as well have a ravenous puppy for a pet
