Can anyone tell some predatory catfish that reach around 1-2 ft i have a 6ft tank with Jardinii, fire eel & some Bichirs.
 
I concur with the above comments. Also important is the sought activity level, hider or not, much moving or doesn't matter...

Lima shovelnose,
sun catfish,
tig or juruense catfish, other Brachy spp except piraiba and dorado,
bullhead,
giant bumblebee catfish and other medium Pseudopimelodidae,
some spp of Hemibagrus,
some bigger driftwood catfish spp, dolphin head,
walking catfish and other medium Claridae,
Rhamdia quelen and related Heptepteridae,
bigger Pimelodus spp (rare though)

just off the top of my head. There could be plenty more.
 
Need more info.
what tank will they be moved to eventually.
what level of aggression do you want?
I assume by predatory you are looking to create yourself some problems in the 6ft tank? (Not sure why)
How big are the current occupants?

Sorry not had chance to come back been away on work. i would want my tank to be the tank they stay in i was looking for an active cat that wouldn't end up being eaten by the Bichir, and be able to handle its self if the arrow would try bully it. I was thinking along the lines a vulture catfish but maybe something smaller
