what fish would be ideal with a bagarius yarelli

[ice-dragon]

as above... the bagarius setup looks pretty boring so i wanna add some fishes

I guess you just need to make sure the tankmate is not small enough to fit into the Yarelli's big mouth!

Bagarius cats are cool water fish so, that's one limiting factor for finding tankmates. Another is they're white-water opportunistic predators. That's means there's not too many fish it would consider as being too big to attack (and has the teeth to deal with large prey).

so what kinda fishes are good for white water biotope? my cat is 5" and there's strong current in his tank and he loves it

Everyone I know that's raised a yarelli or suchus wound up with a single species catfish tank. Everything mixed in with them was either eaten or torn apart.
