Gorgeous fish! What is the lifetime size of a tank for one of these?

I would think a 6ft x 3 x 2 would be a start

It will go in a 125 soon and plan on having a 300 by the end of the year.

Nice pick up !
My Vulture is about 16 Inches and till now he doesnt try to eat even small fishes like
small Geophagus or Dats.
He never hides , very cool cat.

Good looking guy you got there!

I don't keep my 6-pack with such small fish but all in all I mostly agree that they are rather peaceful. You can read this for more https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/...here-were-6-vultures-and-5-black-ears.675034/

It's settling in well. Smashing tilapia like there's no tomorrow. Finally taking a break from swimming around the tank.

Oh, when they are small, the way they eat is hilarious. It's a borderline nervous breakdown frenzy trying maniacally to get every bit and swallow as fast as possible and trying to get every bit and swallow as fast as possible and repeat...

Yep. That's exactly what it's like. Very entertaining.
