I am looking for a catfish that doesent get over two feet in lenth and is sort of like the tigrinus catfish. I like the shovelnose look, and the markings. I plan on getting only one catfish and want it to be fairly rare and beutiful. Thank you for your suggestions.

Below is a link to a list of all Pimelodidae that grow bigger than 200mm and less than 600mm (8" - 2' roughly)...

Of those, the best match is the
, but finding one of those may not be trivial...
