What agamid is the closely related to, but doesn't get as big, as the water dragon? (in other words, what agamid lizard is 6 inches or under, but is closely related to the ever popular chinese water dragon?)

There are many Agamids that only get 6 in or smaller. They are in the same family Agamidae but not necessarily closely related to water dragons. Are you looking for a lizard with similar temperament and care or are you just curious? The only two lizards I can think of that are directly related are the Austrailian water dragon and the Gippsland water dragon but they both get about two feet. Agamids are cool but Texas has Collard lizards and they are way more fun.
