3.6cm is the official max SL according to FishBase.

Re: Mochokiella paynei size incorrect
From Seegars 'Catfish Of Africa'. "The figure of around 4.5cm (36mm SL) given as the total length of these fishes by Howes (1980: 165) and subsequently repeated everywhere (e.g. by Paugy & Roberts in Leveque etal 1992: 515) is not the maximum length, and in the aquarium these catfishes can attain almost 10cm (see also Sands, 1984).

Re: Mochokiella paynei size incorrect
I can attest that all of my 12 Mochokiella paynei are well above 36mm SL, probably 40-55mm SL, possibly more.
If it helps I can take pictures with a ruler next to them?
