Hi, I have 2 Niger cats in my 12' oddball community the biggest is around 21/2 feet. They are in with other cats (giraffe, L marmoratus, Lge synos and various plecos) as well as cichlids and a Giant Gourami. They are both v peaceful and vacuum the pellets from the surface when I feed them. They look stunning when adult.

Niger is actually the fork snout or fossil cat. The true ripsaw is Megaladoras irwini.
Nigers will get well over 3 feet and weight close to 90 lbs if not more. I'd say nothing less than about 5,000 gallons for an adult. They eat almost anything they can get in there mouth, but as long as you get them on prepared foods, they'll live with almost anything.
I'll post some pics of my old ones and single current fish tonight.

zoodiver are you counting the fish you keep at work or at home? Either way if I took care of them the way you do the ones at your aquarium I would consider them mine too lol. I am so jealous of your job. If you ever need a curator of catfish let me know lol.
Yeah, I don't have anything big enough at home to keep cool fish. My biggest home tank is a 90 gallon Amazon. Got some smaller cichlid tanks and a small salt tank, too. Keeping them at work is easier....use someone elses dime.
