i want to know of any big catfish that would fit in a 55 gallon tank and i dont care if its aggressive. so any body have any ideas.
 
4-lined pictus cats, spotted pictus cats. those two will eat small fish that fit in their mouths, like guppies/neons/really small goldfish.

any synodontis cats you find in your lfs will work too
 
could go lima shovelnose for probly a year or so. they max i beleve 12 to 14 inchs
 
go with Mystus Nemurus. Asian red tail. Mean as hell. had one take skin off my fingers in a rage. started attacking my cichlids at night so i got rid of it. They are one tough ass fish though. give it a shot you wont be disappointed. they get to about 24" but would be ok in a 55 for quite some time.

only saw 2 over 12 inches very rare at this size
 
i have seen a 24 inch Lima.


Feed them live foods and keep the water clean, and you will see decent growth.
 
wow

mine went from 3" to 10" in around 6 months
 
I SEEN ONE PUSHING THE 12 TO 13 INCH MARK IN A LFS
