What about knife fish? I’ve always liked the look of them but never really researched or owned them. I could get a black ghost knife and name it Batman ?

Would it be okay to do 1 African brow knife asking with some
Type of catfish still?
P. Bufonis is built like a mini rtc, not very active

Made a good suggestion I love the p. Ornatus and plan on having them some day I'll have to get with him and pick his brain about his experiences with them. A group of synodontis could work, most if not all of that family should fit for life in a 75g although
thebiggerthebetter
probably knows of one that gets massive (absolute wealth of knowledge, that guy)
A decent suggestion I could make would be the classic American native bullhead, granted it would probably be a solo wet pet due to final size but that can be fun and rewarding in its own way it just depends on your goal, unfortunately cats are predatory period if it fits in the mouth it goes in the mouth. Sorry for ranting I may or may not be inebriated

It's tough in a 75. The smaller pims like pictus, albofasciatus, or blochii are good choices. Have you looked into synodontis cats? There are a lot of very pretty syno cats. I would consider a syno angelicus or decorus for your tank, maybe one of each.
For hiding catfish like the jaguar, one can arrange a hide using the front glass as one of the walls and be able to see their fish 24/7 but yes, the driftwood catfish won't be swimming for you in the waking hours of the day. Its an acquired taste, not everyone likes to have an inactive fish.

I’ve done that in the past and will happily do again I don’t know why but I do absolutely love the jaguar catfish
