The orange-tail catfish is almost certainly a red-tail cat (the color of the tail isn't always exactly red). Both kinds of RTC (Asian and South American) will definitely outgrow your tank eventually.
Are you into Asian cats? Your tank is large enough that you can comfortably fit a number of Asian cats in there. Fish like Asan bumblbee cats or black lancers would be good.

What bumblebee catfish are you talking about? There are several kinds (Asian, at least two kinds of South American) and they get to different sizes.
