Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I saw it in the morning paper. Looks like he was one impressive fish.

Aw, it sounds like he lived a good, full life. But that is extremely irresponsible for people to try to keep groupers as pets in home aquariums! They start out cute and small but as you can see, end up huge, and most aquariums aren't able to take them.

Dear Gordon, he had a good life. You can feed and pet these fish in the wild when diving on the Great Barrier Reef.

I just googled pictures of him...what a cutie! Sounds like he lived a good life.
