Well I was gonna give you a link to planetcatfish but ScoutCarcer beat me to it. I have three pictus catfish in my 120 gallon and I love them. A very active and fun fish to watch.

Make sure they have LOTS of free swim space at the bottom - obstacle free that is. They tend to swim at break neck speed a lot of the time.

Do not keep any small fish as they will be eaten. If you have any mysterious disappearances - that will be why

They are said to be best to keep and groups of 3 or more - so make sure have have a tank large enough to cater for this requirement.

They are omnivorous so feed a meaty diet such as frozen / live bloodworm etc. etc.
