rather large tank

hi all.

i may be on the verge of aquiring a tank that's 6X2X2 (hopefully)
now having kept all kinds of cats for years i've always hankered for a solitary big one. i know red tails and tiger shovelnose are out of the question, but reading about the asian red tails and m.wykii, i'm quite interested. they sound great. will they be viable in this tank? if not can you recommend anything else that might be fun please.

cheers

A 6X2X2 can house either H. wyckii or H/ wyckioides, but it'll be too narrow.
Too much of a squeeze, if you ask me.

any suggestions of what might be good fish for this tank????

Just two suggestions (you should be able to keep more than one fish in the tank).

thanks, i'll have to track some down, i don't think i've ever seen them in a shop before.

A group of some of the smaller Sorubim would also be an option. Great to see you are doing your research FIRST.
