Dorie

Hey Pepto Pszemol, you're missing the point. This was a question about the
type of fish. Now people are just enjoying talking about their kids, the
movie and the fun with the fish at home.

From my research and kid resistant technique....they get quite big and
need a good size tank - I've seen them as Blue or Regal tangs and are
fantastic fish....my kids get a big no,no for dorie in my 15gall
nano....might consider them in a 55 gall (US) but would still question
that I am giving them enough space....

No, there will not be enough room there.

my kids have settled for owning nemo...1 & 2
- could get no more imaginitive names from them....hubby calls the Mr and
Mrs....which I guess is going to be more accurate....

Clownfish are fine.

Right on topic and good information sir.

I have a 75 gallon tank and this is precisely the reason why
I didn't buy one. Ever see a 12" long "Dorie" in a 48" long tank ?

I am seeing 8" long Dorie in a 36" tank every day...
Same sad proportions, unfortunatelly :-(

I have a small one on my 46g tank and looks happy.

I guess an 8" fish would be too much but how long will it take to get that
dimension?

Anyways, if it grows that big, I'm sure any LFS will trade it in.

And I have never seen a 12" one yet.

I guess the key is getting very small.

It took mine less than two years...

But I like my pet - I do not want to give it away :-))

The key is not getting one for a small tank,
because helthy fish will grow fast and pretty
quickly outgrows its tank... Do not make my mistake.
