Small-but-fat catfish?

[Betta132]

Tank is unheated and tends to stay around the 75F range. A quick Google search reveals many different opinions on what temperature is acceptable for Raphaels, but most catfish seem to be fine in cooler water. If anything, a lot of them evidently prefer it.

What size can I expect from a bullhead kept in a 65g? Is that large enough to not stunt one?

Mine is currently around 12" in my 75 gallon. Great, hardy fish but they WILL eat anything they can fit in their mouth and will try to eat things that won't. Mine ate 5/6 of my giant danios and has tried to eat the last one multiple times, he also tried to eat my striped raph but hen realized the raph had sharp lateral spines.

Is there any risk of a Raphael cat accidentally hurting something with its spines? My longear lives in a very good catfish spot (cave under a log), and I'd rather not find him all shredded if the Raphael charges into his cave and jabs him with spines.

Technically yes, but I've never seen it with my own eyes; and I had one that shared (I.e. fought) in a cave with a black ghost knifefish, and clown loach
