There's plenty of evidence in the pics, but there's two details that clearly give it away. Rufus has growth on his gills from advanced age. He has them on both sides. The fish in the photos is missing that on both sides. Rufus also has similar growths at the base of his pectoral fins on both sides. The other fish is missing it on both sides. My unfortunate conclusion is that Rufus is gone. :( [ Edited by: TikiTacky 2014-05-20 19:44 ]
