Hello I am currently in the planning stages of a 75 gallon tank and am not sure what to get for a catfish. As for tankmates nothing final but will most likley be mid size (around 6'' max) central/south american cichlids.

You should be good with something like a Synodontis euptera (featherfin catfish). Tough and can handle cichlids. A big raphael should also be able to take care of itself, but keep in mind cichlids grow faster than raphaels and they could choke trying to eat a smaller raphael.

Thanks that works out great I happen to have a raphael who I can move in there. It's around 3'' so not an easy meal for any mid size cichlid.
