Well, I really like RTCs but they get big. I'm in no position for a 500- 1000 gallon tank (or pond) to even start keeping one happy. The thing that really hooked me was a small "kitten" begging for food at the LFS. Not many fish do that.
Is there a smaller species that exhibits similar behavior? Feeding habits? It really dosent even need to be a pim, but a foot or smaller. I'm not even looking to get this anytime soon, but i'd sooner be able to get a few 12 inch fish than a 4 foot monster!
Looking for a Pim

Many of the Pseudopimelodidae will do this. THe link above is one example.
They can be VERY engaging, particularly when it's feeding time. Go to the Cat-ELog and take a look at this family. Plenty of interesting species to choose from, from damned expensive P. fowleri to the much more common B. ranius
EDIT: Ooops, that's Cephalosilurus fowleri not Pseudopim...
Larger Ageneosids will "beg" to be fed too, but I just can't afford the food bill for a fish like these!
