Off the top of my head: bumblebee cats, banjo cats, and oil cats.
All stay pretty small and are quite peaceful.

Re: south amer. catfish
If it's a standard 30 x 12 x 18 (L x W x H) size 29g tank, you can keep most fish that grow to about 6". I'd stay under 5" to give you some extra margin.
You should be able to use the search feature: www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/search.php to search for fishes of a certain side - you can also reduce the results by adding family, genus, temperature and pH limits that will cut down the species that aren't suitable or you are not interested in - the more detailed you make it, the fewer species you will get.

Re: south amer. catfish
Well, maybe you were "pwned" but a standard 29H is only suitable for SA Catfishes that are fairly small and sidguppy did give you many viable options.
