Remember Butkiss The 41 Year Old Pacu

[Nemesis]

Well today during work I happened to pass by the aquarium where the famed 41 year old Pacu resides. I decided to go in and take a look, and snuck a photo of him. Let me add that he is not 41, but 39 years old. The writing on the tank says he was born in 1970! I feel really bad for the fish, but what can you do. It's face was constantly on the glass, and nose is all scraped up. The fish could barely even turn. I believe the tank is a 75. The whole shop was pretty sad, and the metal stands had more rust than Mater on Disney's Cars. Anyways, here's a pic Butkiss the 39!!! year old Pacu

39 years old is alot of years to be like that...he must be somewhat happy and the keepers must be doing something right...Granted he would look better in a 2500g tank but he Is alive...

It's about 20", so I'm thinking it might be stunted.

agreed. it was prob. stunted. 20" and is 39 years old? should be bigger. he would be a beast.....

I got an idea for Butkiss! We'll get a human child lock him in a room and only feed him Tofurkey for 39 years. That way Butkiss won't feel as bad and know other things have it worse.....ROFL, that article mispelled a couple of times so it is not a suprise they can't count
