Prettiest catfish 12-18"?

[ewok]

hi i am very new to catfish and have just started looking in this section lately. i'm wondering what good looking species there are that won't exceed 18" total length? i'm not talking plecos, but loricarids (sp). some pictures or links would help. thanks in advance.

This one has my vote. TFD had some of these recently. I only wish I had the cash at that time to pick one up.

Wow that is stunning, I think I need one too!

That is a stunning cat, very similar to my Bolt cat but far better markings. What about the Lince Cat that takes a lot of beating

i'd say Aguarunichtys cf. torosus is better

a rather common cat but the markings of a mature specemin of a lima scorbim can't be beat.
