according to rapps stock list he doesn't have any vultures. but fortunately i have a couple of months to figure this all out as i wont have anything set up at least until january. unless a pile of money falls from the sky. haha and my raise doesnt take effect until the end of december.
but i only need one to 2 panels of acrylic because of im doing the tank in plywood.
Okay so I need a Weeksii now. not sure how they flew under my poly radar. i mean ive always known about them but for some reason ive never wanted one until now haha

As unsuitable for the community tank, as it is for the hobbyist. It is highly predatory, extremely aggressive and territorial. It also possesses a mouth full of sharp teeth and a very powerful bite. Experiments in which juveniles have been combined with other species have usually been successful for only a few months at most, and have always ended in some degree of disaster. If it does not kill tankmates straight away, it will often disfigure them irreparably. The eyes are particularly targeted, for some reason. Even much larger fish are not safe and may have chunks of flesh removed or simply be bitten into pieces.
It is also completely intolerant of conspecifics. Keep it alone and as a single specimen. Once it reaches a foot or so in length it won’t hesitate to attack you either! Extreme caution must be exercised when feeding or performing tank maintenance. A bite from even a 2 foot specimen could easily sever a finger."
