I dont think I would ever want to know Buttkiss

Only 43? Bah!

Submitter said "Buttkiss"

Do these fish live in Lake Titicaca?

I know buttkiss very well

not on the first date

came here to see pics, leaving disappointed.

The 226-year old world's oldest koi says meh (or would, if it weren't dead).

When 43 years you reach, look as good you will not.

Oh, and way to not have a picture, CBSnews.

here we go:

Sounds fishy.

Sorry, not falling for that one.

Amature.....Talk to my Buddy Hermen(who can no longer possibly be a man)

70 years old

That tank is way too small for that fish.

Wow, and I thought I held the record for the goldfish my daughter got for her 11th birthday that lived for five years.

Get off my reef?

from wiki:
However, there is some question of whether the fish are a good choice for the typical hobbyist. While they are not aggressive carnivores like the piranha, their crushing jaw system, used primarily for eating seeds and nuts, can be hazardous. One toddler needed surgery after a pacu (misreported as a piranha) bit her finger at Edinburgh Butterfly and Insect World in Scotland. Commenting on the incident, Deep Sea World zoological manager Matthew Kane warned, "Pacus will eat anything, even children's wiggling fingers."[5]

Another such incident occurred when a 60 cm (24-inch) Pacu (named Pacu) jumped out of his tank in Fort Worth, TX and bit the nose off of his owner. The nose was later reattached, sans left nostril.

Woke up to a story about this on Morning edition last weekend or the weekend before. Neat fish. Not for the home aquarium, though. Buttkiss is a runt. Black pacu can get over 3' long and weight a couple hundred pounds. If they must be kept in a tank, the walls need to be extra thick, because they will charge them and break them. A single pacu needs at least 500 gallons of tank space at full growth.

That said, they love brazil nuts (which apparently soften a bit in the water.)

a relative to piranha thats four FEET long?

Watch Buttkiss om nom nom some unlucky goldfish.

This made the local news last fall and we took a field trip to see the fish.

No big deal and the clerk (I don't think he was the owner) was rude.

There was good pizza on the block and an Armenian nightclub around the corner.

Wasn't this run about six month;s ago? At least they cleaned the tank this time. In the last pics, the water was yellow...

I guess God forgot about Buttkiss too..

/43 years old, not a problem
//if he eats a quarter and craps out 2 dimes and a nickel, THEN you have a problem.

Nope, sleeping with the fishes.

Crimson Marblefish can live several years.

Yes you should have.

I have pet fish sticks in the freezer older than that.
