Tiny Catfish

Hi. Does anybody have any suggestions for a catfish in a ten gallon tank? It needs to be a maximum of 2 inches, yet tough enough to stand up to my betta. I do not want any cories! I was thinking maybe a different species of otocinclus, other than the common one. This catfish has to be small and docile enough to not eat a 1" baby platy. Maybe a small driftwood cat? Thanks,

why not keep a small asian catfish in with your Betta,
maybe a few of these.

Thanks, Medaka. First, will the Hara be okay with tetras? I have 4 head and tail light, 1 cherry barb, and 3 blind cave tetras also in the tank, along with my baby platy in a net breeder and its parents. I plan to move the trio of Blind caves into my 75 galllon as soon as they are full grown. Are there any more common cats, such as otos that would be nice? They haras would be fine, but I have never seen them at our Lfs. There are these guys at the shop, they are called gray whiptails, which I believe are Rineloricaria Latirostris. Would they be okay? Thanks,

They most definitely will be.
