Does anybody have any good suggestions of catfish for a 6'x2'x2' tank? I'm not looking for anything specific but one thing I really like in a catfish is how much I can interact with it. Also it needs to be able to put up with tank mates.

Jaguar, vulture, dolphin hammerhead, etc...or you could check aquabid.com.

I have the feeling that a jaguar catfish(or at least the type I'm thinking of) would be to small. And vultures barbels get to long.

Callichthys catfish..love mine..they don't get huge, they look cool, mine will eat outta my hand and they have small mouths so they won't eat other fish :)

I'd say vulture. Not sure why their long barbels would be an issue. It shouldn't get much more than 20". I'm growing one out in my 90 gallon right now for my 180 I'm building now.
