Well I won't blame the movie. Movies are meant to be entertainment, educational (honestly, finding nemo portrayed fishes perfectly; like morish idols are hard to keep in tanks) and inspirational. Sometimes, people take it otherwise and try to accomplish things out of their reach.

I have to disagree on the Nemo film portraying fishes perfectly. Most clownfish I have experience with don't much care what happens to their larvae once they hatch, let alone traveling half way around the world to find a juvenile. Fantasy pics for youngsters, not much to do with reality. Problem is, kids see the film & they 'want one'.

And let along be nemo (male) and marlin (male) being father-son despite the dominating male becoming a female.

My point was just to justify that its not pixer's fault; its the fault of the people.

I dunno, I have a regal tang in my tank that matches Dory to a tee. My 2 year old calls Dory "moms fish" when we watch the movie. Cracks me up every time

I'll save you all the trouble of seeing the movie. No need to find Dory. She's in my tank. She was ripped from her friends in the ocean by a fisherman and shipped around the world in a bag of water full of her own urine, tanked in a distributor system with parasites and no food, then shipped to a LFS that nursed her back to health, and I bought her. She now lives a life of confinement with others whom she hates (b/c she chases them often) and I tap on the glass daily going "fishie fishie fishie fishie...." despite my maintenance guy Deuce Bigalow telling me "they don't like that" Oh, and some days I forget to feed her.
