anecdotal question...

[aquapants]

A friend just told me that you could not put the two fish from Finding Nemo together because they would fight and kill each other. Is that true?

If you're referring to the Regal and the Clown, then you can, but as long as it's in a tank over 100gals.

And the only reason for the 100 gallon recommendation is due to the size and swimming habits of the said tang. They coexist perfectly, otherwise.

Now, the shark, a regal, and a clown is another story altogether!

and the idol!!!

 

[Reefscape]

Amphiprion ocellaris - Clownfish - Nemo
Paracanthurus hepatus - Regal Tang - Dori
Zanclus cornutus - Moorish Idol - Gill
Diodon nicthemerus - Porcupine puffer - Bloat
Gramma loreto - Royal Gramma - Gurgle
Asteroidea - Starfish - Peach
Stegastes variabilis - Damsel - Deb
Lysmata - Cleaner shrimp - Jaques
Zebrasoma flavescens - Yellow Tang - Bubbles

The only ones in reality you could not keep together is the porc puffer and the shrimp...

Yes, a 100Gal is not big enough in my opinion, but, it is do-able if you bend the rules, so to speak.....
