I'm looking for a small, active catfish. Preferably something about the size of a bumblebee cat and active during the daytime. Any suggestions??

What size tank? Are there any other inhabitants?
I am always a fan of corydoras, and from what I hear the pygmy varieties are much more active than their larger counterparts...

My albino cories are always busy! They keep me entertained for hours.

I would research them and find out their activity levels
also note that a couple can be delicate.

My favorite for a small and very active catfish is the corydoras habrosus. They are slightly larger than a pygmaeus or a hastatus but are very active swimming all over in my tanks. I also like the hastatus but they don't seem to be as active as the habrosus.
