Recommend awesome cat for 6x2

[takinap]

So I saw some giraffe catfish at a LFS the other day and think they are amazing!! But they just get too big for my 6x2x2.5. I love their big build, huge vaccum mouth and they are just overall cool looking. Can anyone recommend me a cat that is as cool as a giraffe cat but not bigger than 24"

Lima Shovelnose cats are pretty cool and probably won't get much over 18". They are much smaller (up to perhaps 8"), but Jaguar Catfish are awesome-looking. I personally own a pair of Eclipse or Sun catfish, which also get to the 18" range.

4 Line Pim's maybe ?!

Lima Catfish might work they dont get extremely big but do grow to a nice large size .

gulpers are cool but you cant really keep anything with them

i'd say go for the giraffe, 24" is on the larger side for these guys but it's your call. mine is 20" and not sure how old. they're awesome cats and not real fast growers. my lfs has had one for a few years and it's around 9-10" now.

I would say marbled catfish.
