Article - Releasing Nemo a Disaster for Native Fish

[SpicyBalls]

True, true. However, I'd argue that the people that got into the hobby because they saw the movie are the wrong sort of people to get in the hobby: they "nemo and dory in the fishbowl" kind of people. Nothing good can come out of this (fish killed, no research on blue linckias, etc).

Well.. all hobbist start somewhere... i started and only had damsels and clownfish.. cuz i thought they were nice looking and cheap way to get into the hobby.. before that i did freshwater for more than a decade... since those fish, i've moved onto more complicated things like keeping of corals and what not.. everyone starts somewhere.. where they go from there and how much they want to learn is up to them... without a doubt the people who start an aquarium get "nemo" and his friends in their aquarium as a fad, are def not the right people as they may one day get bored of it or find it too complicated... but there's always those people like myself who started out small, but am trying to learn more and take on more complicated organisms..

Guess finding nemo did some good and bad for the industry..

Well the phrase 'Releasing Nemo' is used metaphorically in the title, not literally. There have been no reports of clownfish being released in the USA, and AFAIK all the exotic fish being reported were sighted prior to the release of the film.
