What size tank?

There are several catfish species that resemble the 'shark catfish' but stay smaller.

Take this mystus species here:

http/planetcatfish.com/catelog/bagridae/mystus/890_1.PHP
http/planetcatfish.com/catelog/bagridae/mystus/1531_1.PHP - not quite as small
http/planetcatfish.com/catelog/bagridae/mystus/454_4.PHP - to a foot long

Take a look at the mystus species in general (this is one of my favourite cat groups): http/planetcatfish.com/catelog/bagridae/G_14.PHP
... This is my favourite of the group : http/planetcatfish.com/catelog/bagridae/mystus/788_1.PHP

Anyway, went off on a tangent for a moment there - back again...
If what you are after is more a miniature bala shark, scissortail rasboras seem to cut it: http/www.picolio.com/Gallery/album40/Sci...asboras_02_19_2
