Oxydoras niger/ripsaw question

[Oompa Loompa]

No, I have a 10x5x2 pond. It will soon be crowded though. But I have plan on turning my unused swimming pool into fish pond. If it still crowded, I could just throw em in my 100m x 50m pond. Make a fishing pond, sorta.

Its easier if I just show you the thread

10x5x2 would be as small as I'd go for an adult niger catfish. 100m by 50m would be a ton of space though!

You could also use an above-ground pool - at least 8' diameter, preferably 10'+. Just make sure to use a 45 mil liner in there above the stock liner.

I just bought 4" OxyN last week and is it possible that these fishes are farmed? Since farmed fish are runt, I'm afraid it will never exceed more than 1'. Or does it just like RTC, still can grow to huge sizes even though its farmed?

I am not aware of them being farmed. They are ubiquitous throughout Amazon basin. If kept right, it will reach 3' in 3 years and even longer. Should live for decades too. I have a 30 year old rescue.
