More likely stunted, hence the size.

Anyways, buttkiss is dead already. He died at age 44 in 2011. He's mounted in the store.

Thank you for the update Rocksor... Didn't know it was dead when I stumbled on it last week on youtube. Like Jeff said, "He's better off".

30 years ago it was a completely different world. Now we know better.

I actually have been to that LFS a few times. The owner is an old school hobbyist. All of the tank in his shop are the vintage kind with the metal borders. Surprisingly all the fish he sells are very healthy. I have not seen a single dead fish in any tanks ever unlike most LFS. He constantly cleaning and doing maintenance on the tank. The actual store on the other had is ancient and looks it.

BUT still that sucks for the pacu being in a small tank at least it was lucky enough to have clean water.
