Steve Gruebel owns a pet store but this is one
fish that is not for sale. Named for the Hall of Fame football
player, Dick Buttkiss is a Black Pacu who just turned 43 years
old.
Buttkiss, who gobbles up 25 goldfish every other day, already
has lived twice as long as an average pacu, a breed that is related
to the piranha.
Tipping the scales at more than 20 pounds and measuring 23 inches
long, Buttkiss spends his days swimming back and forth in a 4-foot-long,
75-gallon tank.
