It may sound stupid, but its the size of tank I feel I can maintain right now, I don't want my fish aquarium to become more of a hassel instead of something enjoy, so I plan on slowly working my way up to larger size tanks instead of jumping right in becoming overwhelmed. Anyway, I love bottom dwellers, specifically catfish, and I would really like to start with one, but if I can't, then I can get one later down the road when i have a larger aquarium. =]
any catfish small enough for a 5 gallon?

oto's want to be a group of 3-4 or more and a 5 gallon would NEVER provide the food for them. You'd have to supplement with veggies. I personally wouldn't recommend any catfish for a 5 gallon.
Definitely not otos. And the 5G is really small for even the pygmy cories. Cories are active and on the go a lot. That tank wouldn't give them much area.
I'd suggest just starting with a ten gal if you 'd prefer smaller tanks.
You can house a wider variety of fish and they are the easiest tanks to find used and in kits.
To answer your question, I wonder if you could get Hara species catfish. These catfish( at least from what I saw) are tiny.

I may just go with the 10 gallon, but i just gave my old one away to a friend, haha, then after helping her get it started, i decided i wanted to have one again, but it would just be a few of the catfish and maybe a low light plant, if i'd have enough room.
