RIP, ‘Mack The Knife’

.
I’ve never been to the Bolton Aquarium but their star attraction, ‘Mack the Knife’, a Giant Green Knifefish has died.

In truth, I’ve never heard of a Giant Green Knifefish but it seems that they are usually found in Venezuela. This one, was four feet long and was reckoned to be about 13 years of age when it passed away having been with the aquarium for ten years.

Mourning the loss of the fish which apparently was the only one in captivity in the UK, a spokesman for Bolton Council, the impressively titled Executive Member for Adult and Community Services, said it ‘was a great asset to the aquarium and will be missed by the public and staff alike’.

I wonder what they will replace it with?
