Sea Life Species of Finding Nemo

Just because I felt like sharing knowledge and pretty pictures with fellow fans, here's a little slideshow presentation of Finding Nemo characters and their real-life counterparts!* (Pausing to read and/or get a better look may well be necessary.) For good measure I tossed in a few attempts at Shark Tale character IDs as well, plus a long string of additional fishes at the end (many of my favorite marine species. Don't even get me started on freshwater too. xD)

Oh, DEAR. Even on fullscreen, I didn't realize how un- (or just barely) readable many of the images would be when uploaded. Tsk. Well, if you wanna know what something says, just ask, I suppose..

(*Due to my obsessive love for animation, tropical fishes, and some of the voice actors, plus every aspect of the film itself, this movie drove me slightly more insane than I already was.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Even though Phil Sherman's exact aquarium setup wouldn't be quite possible in reality due to the incompatibility of certain species, it's an absolutely glorious tank.
Surgeonfishes such as Bubbles and Dory actually have retractable scalpels for defense. Moorish Idols are closely related to surgeons and tangs, but lack the scalpels.
Moorish Idols such as Gill are one of the most notoriously bad choices as aquarium fishes for anyone but THE most experienced and knowledgeable fishkeepers—and even then, they very rarely survive in captivity despite people's best efforts. Perhaps this was a clever choice, then—Gill certainly didn't adapt well to tank life, but his willpower and determination to return to the sea were too strong to allow him to perish. In reality, the species is exceedingly picky and sensitive when it comes to captive conditions, and do better in reef-quality water. They are disease-prone and often require live rock in their homes and live sponge material in their foods, and tankmates must be chosen carefully. They don't handle sudden changes well, don't get on with boisterous fishes and ones that act aggressively toward them, and aren't too easy to feed. And yet, although they are not at all adept at transitioning to captivity, Moorish Idols are extremely strong, tough, hardy fish in the wild. Very, very rarely, a healthy one will thrive in a home aquarium, even on the lowest-quality foods. This seems to be a mysterious, bipolar species!
Single Idols tend to fare worse in tanks than pairs, so they should be kept with a friend, if they're going to be kept at all...surely there are fish Gill misses, and he might have been happier had he at least been captured with one or more of them. Typically, they are found as pairs in the wild...and they form temporary shoals of up to 50 individuals in order to invade a food-rich area for a little bit. Idols are wide-ranging and need lots of space in which to move around and exercise. They also need to be able to get away from people and other fishes (they value their privacy and want hiding places!) Stress, injury, bothering mates, "worrying," and "pacing" can often result when a frustrated Idol is placed into an unsuitable tank.
The longfin bannerfish is a somewhat similar-looking species that is sometimes mistaken for the Moorish Idol; they're a good alternative for people who want to keep Idols, because they usually do extremely well in aquariums!

[Bijou42]

@Nfigue2 Haha, yeah, I noted that a few of the FN voice actors were on that show...which I haven't actually seen, but I assume it must be pretty good. :) Aww, Nemo all grown up, hehe! How cute. ^.^

[aydankane]

damn, hoping you could have put in the pelican, nigel. would of helped with home work :)

[Bijou42]

@aydankane Awww, sorry about that! I really should have done all the animals, not just the ones that live in water. ^^; But, if it helps, Nigel must be an Australian Pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus), since they're the continent/country's only native pelican species.

[Bijou42]

@CandyGirl6334 You're very welcome! :D I just did it for fun, basically, but I'm glad it turned out to be of real use to someone. ^.^ Do you mind me asking what the extra credit was? I'm kinda curious. :3
