Just looked up the vulture and it says that they take chunks out of even larger fish.

Never had that experience, personally. they are rambunctious but otherwise benign. They WILL takes chunks out of dead fish but I’ve never seen them attack a living fish.
Lima Shovelnose catfish are great because they don't get as large as red-tail. You could try three of them. 1 male and 2 females.
Look up my post on Goonch, they are another large growing option and a good indication of what a vulture can do to new (living) tank mates if they feel the urge.
use the advance search option and put his username along with the search text goonch
A smaller version of the vulture cat is the bolt catfish (16") or even smaller than those 2 at 13" is the four-line pimelodus.
I did look up the goonch and Asian redtail, I really liked, but I think my 360 would be too small. I had the opportunity to raise a SA redtail, hand feeding but from what I hear any hemibagrus would take off my hand.
What about one of the striped brachyplatystoma cats? They seem to be smaller and look like the tsn.
