Fish stocking

[Brian]

OK so like most parents that have a salt water tank I have been tasked with getting the whole cast of finding nemo. So I know no matter what I have to get the nemo fish what what about the rest of the cast? Anyone know the capatability of them? I don't plan on buying the whole cast right away but I wanted to know if it is possible. Opinions?

 

thanks,

The first consideration would be tank size. We can probably eliminate the hippo tang and moorish idol immediately. There's a cleaner shrimp, that's doable, and a leatherback (or loggerhead, or some other) sea turtle (or 1000). That's probably not doable. I think there's a great white or two (my memory sucks). They probably won't fit in your standard 55 either.

Yeah I have a 90. So at the least I'm looking at Nemo, Dori, The star fish, the yellow one (god I can't remember). Doubt I can get he puffer fish. Not sure what the purple fish was. Was the shrimp a fire shrimp?

 

Thanks,

All of those will work in a 90 but I'd forgo the damsels due to aggressiveness. Probably want to leave out the Moorish Idol as well - they don't adapt well to captivity and the vast majority die at 9 mos if not before.

Wow :)hope you can keep them in harmony!

 

oh one more thing kids can get attached to fish especially if they are or think they are from a movie, but what happens if they pass on:( will they understand:)

You forgot the anemone

Go with the B/W Heniochus Diphreutes for Moorish Idol!

Percula would be good

Hippo in the 90g would excellent

Same with the Royal Gramma, Cleaner Shrimp & Yellow Tang.

Tell the kids the Puffer and Damsels didn't make it in your Sequel!!
