Isn't this just a repeat of your other thread slimmed down a little? - Platydoras or acanthadoras

Re: Catfish tank mates with an oscar
To your question, in the previous thread "stocking advice", of a complement to the oncinus or bufonius: that is a tough question, but I might, again, consider an day active doradid or big loricarid, or possibly a larger Synodontis. They all have stiff pectoral and dorsal spines partly designed to prevent becoming a meal.
Considering the size of your tank and the large fish you desire to keep, you definitely have your research work cut out for you. Also consider the amount of waste these bruisers will be putting out. Your filtration system and water change regimen will need to be at a 'higher' level.

I would look at something like the medium Pimelodus as well as the others already suggested.
