what kind of catfish could i put in a 90 gal with a flowerhorn and two tinfoil barbs?

by catfish i mean like limas rtc or shovelnoses not like pictus lol
 
none of those will work in a 90 gallon. maybe go for a 4line pictus, they get to 10" and are pretty damn sweet (i know you said no pictus, but a 4line is awesome)
 
Pimelodus Ornate
They get almost a foot so they would be very happy in a 90.
Related to the pictus but I think youd like it

I agree with X24 on the 4 line.

Also you can go out and catch a bullhead, mine does great with my cichlids and most of the species get about a foot.
 
Synodontis Eupterus are really nice looking (about 8 inch and very high dorsal fin)
 
the synos are always a great choice but will want different water than u'r flowerhorn. smaller bullheads are always good too. the pimelodella blochii (4 line) will get a lil big for the 90 as i've seen up to 16-18" personally. could always do some banjos, cories, or raphaels like wyldfya mentioned too, they would work good as long as the cichlids wouldn't be too agressive. but my personal fav would be some pimelodella gracillis (single line pictus) or a small pack of ompoks (sweet lesser known cats). in any case good luck
