Yes there is the chain loach. They don't get very big at all.:ssmile:

I wouldn't recommend any species of loach for a tank of that size. While Chain loaches (the smallest species I'm aware of) only grow to be about 2.5 inches, they need to be kept in a shoal of at least 5.....more than that is even better.
