Ompok catfish are cool looking, and graceful swimmers, interesting to watch. In my experience, though, they are rather shy and skittish, and will spend most of the day hiding if you offer it a cave. I haven't been able to get mine to feed well on anything besides live fish and pieces of fish fillet, but he has recently started to take food from my hand, and is becoming a bit less shy (had him for about 2-3 months). I am not sure that ompoks have the qualities that one might typically associate with a "wet pet" kind of fish, but it would be an interesting choice, certainly.
I believe that vulture catfish are considered to have good personalities.

lima are gracefull and sexy fish but require great care in the choice of tank mates or they can get bitten up bad.
Well, sun cats hit like 18" SL and they're cool lookin but I'm not sure how they are personality-wise or if they're out and about often.

If you are looking for a large pim look and behavior but would like to avoid a 3'-4' monstrosity, take a peek at the Aguarunichthys genus: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=203#725
They are highly praised.

i have a lima and used to have a sun cat, the sun got to like 5" and never do anything. plus i hear its rare for them to exceed a foot. my lima is cool but he seem to never do any thing and he has barely grown since I've had him.
RTC but of course you'll need a pond, mine will let me pet it and he'll take food from my hand

Yeah most cats that get 30" us are very interactive. That's why I said under 20". Cuz I can't get a tank big enough for a rtc.
