“on the surface” should be the key point of your post here.
How many of you have actually SPOKEN to the new owner, considering all the accusations. I have looked back in this thread a bit, and I see you people referring to him as a “scumbag, whack job, opportunist, hostage taker.” Really?

One would think by some of your attitudes that he was tossing the fish out back in the trash. Far from the truth. After buying the place, he perhaps wanted them out, and put out the word to find them homes, so he can get his business going. This wasnt just one or two tanks taking up some space. This is a WHOLE BUILDING full of tanks that need to be powered and not disturbed until they have new homes.

Your first paragraph proves my point, even if I suspect you did so inadvertently. If the owner had "put the word [out] to find them homes," as you insinuate, the owner should not have prevented Rufus from going to his new home at Bahookas.

When a "new home" was found for the oldest and most delicate fish, the owner prevented Rufus from going to his new home. Consequently, the owner rightly deserves ridicule and negative PR for rejecting the plan to move Rufus to his "new home."
