The only thing that came to my mind was all of the people seeing this and then buying the fish and knowing nothing about them.

Kind of like after Finding nemo where everyone wanted a Dori in their little tank.

i can see your point and agreed but i still thought the commercial was pretty cool......

everytime i see one of these commercials, i just shake my head and wonder why they would take a perfectly gorgeous fish like the lemonpeel and invert the colours for no apparent reason. could they not find a suitable blue fish in all the ocean? and then of course, they go and use a normal lemonpeel in another ad! just boggles the mind. and the lemonpeel isnt the only one either, there's a few obviously (and not very well done) photoshopped fish for no reason. just looks unatural. jmo.

and of course the finding nemo reason is another big thing for me too. and why on earth is a FW fish in there? im not sure that one would be a long term friend

in short, yeah it does bother me a lil. not a lot. just a lil. kinda the same way when some person on the bus plays his/her music just loud enough that all you hear is "thump, thump, thump". it's there and there isnt much i can do about it, and it isnt meant to annoy me, but yet, it does still annoy me a little bit.

They also use gheckos, monkeys and cavemen. As colin said "it's just a commercial"

It's cute and harmless IMO

Ok, well I don't mean "bothered" in the sense that I'm bothered by homelessness and teenage prostitution!

I mean...well, there's a freshwater fish swimming around with four saltwater fish. Ok, maybe I'm just picky, but C'MON! It's like Telus making a commercial set in the Serengeti, with a zebra, a giraffe, a lion and a.....moose.

I was hoping to get a blue lemonpeel for my tank.

I love the commercials....for the average "joe" they are just great, eye catching and really I don't think anyone will attempt to duplicate it...good marketing I think...look at us, talking about it. Isn't that the idea? Next time we go to buy a cell phone etc we'll remember the commercial. We as a group remember it because of the flaw with fish choice, and the color issues with some of the fish (man I wish my Naso was that colorful!) but others just think it is so freakin cool!
