Catfish species that stay under 12"

[zoohouse]

Suncats stay smallish.Glasscats are super small. Spotted ralfs stay small, striped ralfs would get to big. In my 55planted tank I have a group of 10 sa bumble bee cats, 2spotted ralfs, 6 oto cats, a few dwarf plecos.

And when/where have you ever seen a 12"+ striped raphael? Suncats get larger than striped raphs, btw.

I like the idea of a school of silver pictus.

striped rahael are ok, but hide a lot. and are mainly nocturnal

This is an understatment! I have one I only see every 6 months or so. It's in a 450 so there's a lot of places to hide

How about a striped Rahael catfish?

they IMHO are very stationary lol. but still very attractive i might look into them some more

Most cats are nocturnal...
Zamora/midnight/wood catfish? I love the predatory, shark like swimming they do.

those 3 are all the same fish right?

Yellow or spotted bullhead, suncat, chaca chaca, dwarf giraffe cat, gulper cat, hoplo, Pimelodus ornatus.

wow thanks thats a nice list im bound to find one i like.

i really like the ornatus, its so shark like and very attractive. lol a RTC picture came up when i was looking at the different cats and i thought if someone could create a dwarf RTC that grows to a foot it would sell like hot cakes {never used that simile before lol}
