Finding Nemo

[Eupterus]

Funny thread.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw Marlin and Nemo living together, one of them should change gender.

Hows' about when the aquarium fish hop into the river in baggies, how are they going to get out?.. some predator might eat them first while they are trapped in baggies. Dunno...maybe their friendly pelican, Nigel? will come set them free.

Here's another horror story you can add to your list: Apparently someone bought clownfish without knowing they needed salt water , put them into fresh water and they died.

HAHA This is really funny, as for putting those clowns in freshwater, who's that stupid?, i thought humans have evolved over the past couple of million years, obviously not that person or their tiny primitive primate mind.

I met a couple that was spending hundreds of dollars on saltwater fish only to get them home and die within a day. The problem was that they were using a 24 gallon nano cube to which they were adding one teaspoon of table salt to make it saltwater. I helped them set the tank up properly and get it cycled. Their tank is a really nice thriving reef now with all kinds of corals. They never saw "Finding Nemo."

Come on guys... IT'S A KID'S MOVIE! Yeah, the tank in the dentists office isn't possible, neither is a pelican that talk to, and is friends with fish. Just sit back and relax, watch the movie for the entertainment not for aquarium advice. Yes that movie did some bad things for the hobby, but it also brought about a HUGE interest in the hobby, and not all bad. Several people use to come into the shop I worked at, and would say something along the lines of, "I know that nemo movie is probably bs for the tank, so I want you guys to set us up right."

As a side note, we actually have a "Nemo" display here. We use a bannerfish instead of the moorish idol. We've got all the fish, chessey plastic plants and even a cool little volcano.

That replacement filter the dentist put on the tank would be awesome! Of course it just scanned for PH and temperture, a salinity reading would need to be added. But man, if something like that existed in real life I'd buy it! After all, it did get the tank (even the gross algae covered glass!) clean OVERNIGHT!

Maybe the tank in the movie had an overflow hidden somewhere and was actually plumbed to a sump containing lots of live rock. They wouldn't need to jam up the biowheels to make a dirty tank, algae needs the nitrates produced by the biowheels to grow. They really needed to hide food for a week and then pig out and have a nitrate spike.


Ok, ok, It's a kids movie and I like it, but I always keep saying "you can't do that" whenever I watch it now.

Hahaha I know, but its that little thing some of us have that whenever we see something we see what is wrong about it. I have it and it drived people crazy.
