which catfish for 125 gallon tank with common pleco and 6 clown loaches?

I'd go with a school of Denison's barbs if your water conditions are suitable, or the rainbows for hard, alkaline water.

Are those the same as Tinfoil barbs?

No, google roseline shark for more info.

oh a torpedo barb. They would be nice. I heard that they are almost extinct in the wild. I also heard that the red-tailed shark is extinct in the wild.

Congo tetras are really nice. I've only seen them for sale a couple times though. Definitely 5+ for a school. Good luck!

If you do get a catfish, I also like pim. blochii. they are excellent cats for a 125. had mine 8 or 9 years now! I have 6 plecos and 6 clowns in with him. As long as you can feed all your bottom dwellers and give them all good shelter, you could easily get a catfish.

These guys are not picky eaters and durable with even large aggressive fish. Here's mine...
