i meant to say white tip, lol, wish i could have an actual shark. I cant get a bigger tank either because I live in the dorms at college and there is a 10 gallon limit.

A pictus cat is not suitable for a 10g tank - that's for sure. Not only do they grow quite large, they are also quite active swimmers, like to be in a largish group (more than 3) and grow fairly quickly.

Rainbow shark isn't a catfish, that's correct - and I don't recommend that either for a 10g tank, unfortunately.
