I have a close relationship with some Executives at Sea World through projects I am involved in currently, however, I know for a fact that they have…and PLEASE EXCUSE THE PUN…"bigger fish to fry" right now, with all the over exaggerated bad press from "Black FIsh"…etc. I also think the point was brought up earlier that whenever a new fish is potentially introduced into a social network of other fish, there is a lot of concern for disease potential for both the other Fish it joins and in this case, Rufus, who has never been introduced to other fish and diseases or such to become immune to. Larger establishments like Sea World have a lot of budget restraints on "tank Real Estate" and so my hunch is that the chances are slim on that potential where they can invest the staff attention, $ and quarantine issues required to warrant their attention. Let's see what the press coverage starts to bring to the surface too. There may be sources we are not thinking of. We are getting somewhere though!! This will be all worth it….
