Ok.... I have been trying to keep away from larger monster cats, but I must admit one of the catfish that I really love and want to raise again is a oxydoras niger catfish. They are such a cool looking catfish that does not grow fast like a RTC and has a cool look to itself.
I want a 2.5-3'' one or up to 5''?
Does anyone know where I can get one?

Check @Tangledupincichlids fish list sometimes Jeff Rapps will have them in stock.

Yea, I'd love for him to get them. I'd buy more fish too.
I see Wet Spot has some, may get one and some other fish from them.

Hey there! I wanted to chime in but was having a deja vu. I was right - we already covered it. No slow-growing Oxydoras - https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/...e-south-american-catfish.689338/#post-7769796

I remember. I was there reading it. Just had a bit of nostalgia because I missed my old niger. I probably won't be able to find one, but if I do I will get a small one and raise him out. They are one of my favorites. Or I'll get a megladoras irwini or a smaller catfish like that.

I don't have the big tank yet, getting it on August 1st, but it's going to be a 6' aquarium. I of course will have a thread with tons of pictures for you.

Yeah but a 6' tanks not big enough matey, lots of very cool cats that will work. Irwin grow alot slower but still get too big tbh, they are very reclusive too ime.
Check out dwarf giraffe catfish, I just got one, or trachy trachy awesome cats.
I've been there and bought plenty of cats that get to big for my tank, it's not cool tho pal.
Another to look at is hemibagrus nemurus, albino ones rarely if ever exceed 12".
Stripped Dora's can get 12".
Some cool plecs look like ripsaw too.
What width will the tank be?
