Default Top/Mid Dwelling Catfish Suggestion

Any suggestion for a top/mid dwelling catfish that swims a lot. Like Pangasius but I want something different

Thanks

It will be placed in a pond approx 10ft x 10 ft x 2ft. Is there a catfish that does not jump?

At that depth if it's outdoor in a tropical climate, the water temp will be very high if insufficient shade is given.

Assuming there isn't any large tankmates and no high water temperature issue, you may consider some species under Ageneiosus genus like A. polystictus or A. marmoratus.

Irridescent sharks can be quite beautiful too. Especially the albino ones if your pond base is dark. I like their shark like movement.

How about vulture catfish then? They are active catfish from what I research from the forum.
