catfish recomendation/suggestions

[rob1984]

so i have a 72x19 tank, sand bottom and i was thinking about getting a catfish to help eat any left over crud on the bottom from the other fish... i would absolutly LOVE a RTC but ive read they can grow up to like 5ft long, and that sucks for me lol ... i think there so cool looking !!

so id like to get a catfish that would grow to about 12" or so maybe a big bigger is ok... something that would catch you eye and looks as cool as a RTC lol i know im hard to please lol.... anyway if anyone has any suggestions please list them for me, tell me if you have em and wat ya think pics are alway welcome as well

thanks Rob
