Not a fish, but freshwater clams and mussels filter feed, I don’t think there are any species or at least in the hobby that are small and filter feed. Unless you get a pond, paddlefish filterfeed.

I mean they dont have to be small also the paddlefish ill wait until i get my zoo in a lot more years going.
 
Fish in the family Engraulidae (anchovy-like fish) are all (or most?) filter feeders. Mostly marine, a few species are found in estuarine waters, and some even in full freshwater.
