No such thing. Maybe a texas is close. Try central and south american like convicts, firemouths, rams, keyholes, anything that doesn't get bigger then 6''.

Definitely not something I'd recommend.

just because of the size? Or other reasons?




My choice would probably be a salvini or some dwarf pikes.

Pretty much. 10-12" fish in a 3 foot long tank wouldn't be too comfortable; doable, but I still wouldn't recommend it at all. Pair of Firemouth or a single male or female Salvini would be idea for that size tank, which should come in at around the 50Gal mark (36x18x18").
 
I tend to keep a pair of dwarf pikes and a pair of dwarf acaras (Laetacara, keyholes) or dwarf pikes/rams in my 40 and 50 breeders (36x18x16 or 36x18x18) tanks. But then I am partial to pikes I think. I was thinking Biotodoma since I love eartheaters, but after seeing adults and how thick/massive they are, I don't believe them to be doable (though I am sure others will disagree .. but I tend to be conservative when it comes to stocking).

Before I've done single pairs of midsized (5-6") south or centrals, like blue acaras, ports, convicts, ect.
