Lima shovelnose and asian sun catfish, think they both get to a foot

Oh and yes the most common pangasius species (P.sanitwongsei,P.hypotalmus) are mid-top swimming fish.
 
Pictus Cats are unbelievable for "clean-ups". They are incredibly fast, active, and have huge appetites. They also don't get huge so they can work as dither fish as well.
