Need a fish recommendation

Hey all... I need some advice from the experts in this forum. My knowledge of Asian species is pretty much limited to the glass cats. I'm looking for a small species of asian catfish that I can place in a 10gal tank with a few rasboras and 2 female bettas, but I have no idea what my options are. I currently have cories in there, but I'd like to make this tank asian-themed.
Any suggestions?

I suggest a shoal of those little 'Tengara' Mystus. Trouble is, I don't know the species name, but Silurus most likely will.

You mean a group of the dwarf Mystus that gets about 6-8cm or so?
seems a bit large for such a tiny tank.
however,
Hyalobagrus flavus will be a perfect fit, and probably less fragile than Hara when the temperature rises in the summer.
This tiny critter is in the trade mostly as "Pelteobagrus ornatus".

Sorry to highjack the thread, but is the care and feeding of
essentially the same as
? I'm thinking of setting up a tank with a hara catfish, but can only seem to find vendors with the hara hara. There also seems to be little information about the hara hara on the internet beyond water parameters. Has anyone kept them? What are their personalities like?

They're pretty much the same.

culdnt agree more..any of the hara species works well with small tanks..mine is a loner n the smallest among my other cats yet it is feared by the others esp. my Mystus(which is twice as big!).

Take a look at the Hyalobagrus flavus if you can find them in your LFS these guys really are beutiful.
