Hi

I was wondering if some one could help

I have a 200 litre 4ft tank that i want to put decent sized catfish in,

I was thinking of a sharkctfish ???

Will this grow too big ?

Could someone give me an idea of a fish that maybe grows to 20cm or is that still to big

Thanks

Shark catfish are brackish fish which need salt in their water in order to survive, they also grow too large for a 200 litre tank.

However if you like the look of shark catfish i would recomend Pimelodus pictus http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=41743

RTBS are not catfish, they are Cyprinids

Why would that make them a catfish? Real sharks are from the Elasmobranch Order (cartilaginous fishes) and not the Siluriformes Order that Catfish belong to. Very few catfish "clean things", indeed, most make tanks a lot dirtier.
