I believe they get up to maybe 30 inches. Need good filtration, and they sift through the sand when not being lazy. Sorry I couldnt help you more.

thank you PRM. I looked and looked but couldnt come up with anything, either i dont know how to search or theres just not much on then.

im surprised no one keeps them though, well anyone here

no prob

I found out they get up to 36in. But theyll probably not get that big in the home aquarium.

Fishbase.org lists maximum size of Oxydoras niger at 100 cm or 39 inches:

Oxydoras niger

You'll probably find a lot of information if you Google the old and most commonly used scientific name, Pseudodoras niger.
