Hey bottom dwellers...... i was wondering if there is any Aggressive that max out at 20 or under, I know the ARTC and Wyki are really aggressive, but they get bigger than 20, so what are some of the other smaller aggressive cat fish??? is there any?????
 
gulpers are cool catfish but aren't aggressive they may simply eat every thing but with bigger fish they get beat up

go for just about any catfish from the same family as ARTC that you can find all hemibagrus are very aggressive catfish i like hemibagrus punctatus but they are hard to find
 
Try a Silver Tipped Shark. They're max is listed at 24 inches but I've rarely seen one outdo 18 in a tank and 12-14 is for common. they're territorial...not SUPER aggressive but they're definitely king of the tank. They'll eat any smaller fish you put in wiht them most of the time....and they're neat looking, too :)

They're a brackish water fish; don't know if that's a problem.
 
The various Cetopsid "Whale" cats are neat and super aggressive...
 
I don't know much about catfish, but I had a ten inch 4 Lined Pimelodus that had a pretty aggressive attitude. I got rid of him because he was ruling the bottom of my tank. They are pretty easy to get too. I think Petsmart carries them. I think they get up to 12 inches.
 
ohh forgot about whales we'll there not so much aggressive as they just have a very nasty habit they do feed like that alot so its more a feeding habit then aggression but still thats pretty scary would be a cool catfish to keep they move alot but don't like bright tanks in a low light tank with lots of open space there a pretty cool catfish
 
Lima Shovelnose cat should fall in that under 20 area...
