I have a 75 I want to add a few species to but I'm not sure on what.

Current stock:
1 large syno Notatus 7"-9"
1 large eb acara 4"-5"
1 small Bush fish 1"-2"
1 Senegal bichir 4"-6"
1 delhezi bichir 6"-8"

I want to add something for more activity at both bottom and top. I was thinking a couple red head tapajos for more overall activity. And maybe for bottom another bichir or 2? Maybe ornate? Also considering a Hoplo cat.

Ornates will outgrow your tank. Stay away from smaller torpedo shaped fish as well. They may end up in the dels belly. How do fell about plecos ?

Not a fan of plecos at all to be honest.. I'm a fan of the oddball stuff... I would get Roseline sharks but I can only get them small and there pricey... Maybe Congo tetras? Is there any other bichirs I would be able to get?
 
I do wanna add lots of plants attacked to my driftwood so it fills in the back of the tank... Maybe if I do that first the small Roseline's will have a better chance? But my Del does like to chill in my Java fern I have now

Any upper jaw besides ornate, weeksii, and teugelsi would work only thinkg is your looking for activity mokelembembe, retropinnis, and gold dust are really nice but can be known to hide. I never kept polli but heard they are pretty active.

What about knives ? Maybe the smaller growing species woukd work

I won't have a thick substrate at all so I'm stuck with attaching to driftwood which is fine with me
