Would This Work...?

Getting ready to set up a 75 gallon tank with a Jack Dempsey, green Terror, and probally a Texas.. Can i put a catfish in here.. im not really good with catfish the only one i know and that i like is the RTC..which is way advanced for me. I know of the Pictus and was researching on it. but i would like to here from the catfish people in this section to see what they say..

This is my 75 tank..what catfish can be housed in here any?

A spotted or four lined pictus would be a good choice or even the synodontis species. Most other cats will get to big and end up eating ur cichlids.

The synos will stay small and like cover which is y they work good with cichlids.

i have a couple synodontis petricola and they are cool little guys.

synodontis or raphael should work....

spotted or striped raphael. My striped raphael is real active with the lights on.

Like the tank setup.

What other requirements could you cite? Are you ok if it/they hide almost all the time or always/often visible is a must? Is it a group or a single?

IMO, your catfish should not be more than ~8" when adult, twice less than your 75's width.
