Would anyone know of any smallish catfish/plec that would fit a two foot tank soft water possibly from thailand? I have looked on seriously fish and planet catfish I don't know if it's me (probably) my computer/network but I can't seem to narrow the search down and so far nearly everything is the size of a crocodile! Can someone point me to another site or has a few ideas.

The search on both of them ive found is a PITA.
Off the top my head i cant think of any that would fit that would be from Thailand (cant think of any from Thailand at all for that matter

Fishbase’s list of all fish species in Thailand. (Catfish are the order Siluriformes).

The only one small enough for a 2ft tank is Hara jerdoni. They’re very cute but also very inactive.

From other parts of the world you have the dwarf Corydoras... habrosus, hastatus and pygmaeus. Much more active. Aspidoras are also findable sometimes.
There isn’t a plec that stays small enough.

Thankyou so much for that. Now the only problem is there are loads of fish I want that don't fit the tank!black ghost wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 13:23 pm Fishbase’s list of all fish species in Thailand. (Catfish are the order Siluriformes).

I suppose it doesn't have to be Thailand. I have some somphongsi rasbora which I believe are from thailand. I was looking for a plec or catfish that would be ok with them that was loosely from the same area. Doesn't have to be particularly active.
All thoughts appreciated
