Cold Water Catfish

Hello folks,
As I've mentioned in other posts, I'm setting up a cold water river tank (cold as in approx 20°C) I'm curious from the pool of knowledge and experience here, what catfish are there out there that would do well in such an environment? I've been digging around reading, but nothing beats personal experience!
Thanks!
Ben

You can choose from temperate region catfishes such as ictalurids (madtoms are a great) or <i>Silurus</i> spp. (if you can get your hands on them), or hillstream catfishes such as sisorids.
All of these guys will do very well in cold water, since that is their natural habitat. I've had experience keeping all of these and <i>Silurus asotus</i> was still my favorite among them.

My bad. I'm intested in ictalurids and did not note the date of the original post when posting my reply. This will not happen again.
