My new fish

[Van down by the river]

Rasta-

Hey Alan ... I had not seen a Moorish Idol in a pet store in a loooong time prior to the Nemo movie

I still see them regularly. before and after Nemo. I guarantee that most stores include them on almost every Hawaiian order.



It seems that many people that mention the movie don't sound like they've actually seen it.
Again I'll state that the Nemo movie has a conservationalist theme throughout the movie! We had tons of ignorant aquarists before Nemo, and we will have plenty after.

If anything, as Nemo humanizes the fish, and depicts them as more than disposable pets(a viewpoint seemingly shared by many), I think it may do the hobby some good. A major message in the movie is that the fish don't want to be in aquariums at all.
