OOOH theyre those nasty ones that are marine I think, stinging or something like that, lovely looking though...I knew of marine site that sold those (or atleast had them up for sale)
Have a look on the catfish fish profiles area, youll probably find something on there, and if not, PlanetCatfish!

i had a giraffe catfish in a 6x2x2 for many years with a large school about 15 congo tetras .
an awesome sight the catfish grew to about 20 inches long and about 8 inches wide a very active swimmer .
it can move more gravel than a JCB lol

shovelnoses will be your best bet

giraffe catfish will look good, i have one, lol.
not to sure about the shovelnose tho, may get a bit big.

6x2x2 is too small for a giraffe cat, which can get to 3 foot long, 2 foot easily in captivity.

Looking at more 8x3x3 for a giraffe cat.

im with geo a 6x2x2 is too small for a adult giraffe
MA enfield had a huge one in a 6x2x2 and it looked awful
one flick of the tail and its smashing against the glass

Lima shovelnoses, ornate pims, steurgeon cats, trachy trachy, fowleri, blochii pims, just have a look round planet catfish, its a great resource.
