The jelly cat might eat the bichirs if they aren't big enough. Perhaps consider something less predatory like a striped raphael catfish or Featherfin Squeaker.

I have them sperated currently but the bichirs grow faster than the pseudopimelodus bufonius
I don't personally have experience with these fish, so I honestly have no idea how this would work out, but from just a common fish sense standpoint and what I've heard and read about them, jelly cats are pretty predatory, so be careful and be prepared to take action if something goes wrong. Good luck!

Size wise, yes, I'd think these 3 fish that grow only to about 1 foot should be ok in a standard 75 4x2x2-. Compatibility? I'm nor sure. Bichirs are highly unpalatable, so the cat may leave them alone. I'd not be surprised if it tried.

I just moved the catfish to the 75 gallon with the 2 oscars while the oscars are growing out once the bichirs are big enough I'll move them to
