new fish list

[budbrs]

1) percula clown ( Nemo )
2) blue hippo tang ( Dory )
does anyone know what the black and white fish named ( Gill )
on finding nemo was ?
My six year old in a nemo freak :help:

Gill is a Moorish Idol, but beware these fish are hard to take care of and need a tank no less than 125 gallons.

 

[jam1e]

don't get a moorish idol .. almost impossible to take care of and are very delicate .. not at all recomended to beginners .. I'm assuming that you're a beginner? ..

If you have a small tank "nemo" might be the only character fish you can get, but "Jacques" the cleaner shrimp is a great addition to even a small tank!
It's funny, the owner of the LFS I go to, this guy knows a ton about SW fish/corals/everything related, calls the fish by their Nemo names.
The movie started a craze!

blue hip and regal "tang thing" according to site and says 40 gal min tank size
i have 55 gal

 

[bruder]

While many sites say things like minimum size, you have to remember this is a minimum. Many much more experienced hobbyist than you or I have had bad experiences with tangs in tanks less than 6 feet long (I believe). They can get stressed out, get sick, and die. Again, I have never dealt with this, but my opinion would be not to "test" the limits.

 

[budbrs]

dont know if u dont ask.
how big does she get

 

[bruder]

I have read up to 12 inches, but that is probably in the wild. Most literature I have heard says at least 75 gal for a Dory (some even say 125).

 

[ice4ice]

All Tangs require at least 125 gallons due to their open sea swimming nature. Anything smaller than that, they will stress out and die.

 

[dskrezyna]

Blue Hippo in a 55g? Sorry, no way.
Tangs in general prefer 6' long tanks for ample swimming room. I would only put tangs in tanks 125g and bigger.

 

[fish1031]

I think the Heniochus Butterfly kind of looks like gill.

And probably easier to care for than the Moorish Idol..But I would say neither for this situation

When they give you min tank size, it's what you need right now, NOT when they are full grown. Hippos, from what I understand, can get to 12" and need LOTS of swim room. This is why I got a 125 gallon, my girls wanted Nemo and Dory, so I got the tank big enough to hold what I wanted.

Man, my parents were cheap... I got an Oscar.

I know I'm jumping in late here but Gil as already stated was a Moorish Idol. Very hard to keep and usually not suggested for anyone as they tned to do very poor in an aquarium. You may want to consider a (Heniochus diphreutes) Longfin Bannerfish aka. the poorman's Moorish Idol. I didn't do a lot of research as far as requirements go but from what I understand they are much better suited to the aquarium.
