Finding Dory

  • Finding Dory

    July 2016

    The wait is over! 13 years have passed since the release of Finding Nemo and this month the sequel, Finding Dory, will be in cinemas. The Aquarium Architecture team is looking forward to seeing Dory and Nemo’s latest undersea adventures and according to pre-release tracking, so are millions of other people. Finding Dory looks like it might have Pixar’s biggest opening ever, and possibly the biggest opening ever for an animated film.

    In the sequel, Dory has flashes of memory that remind her that she has parents. This sends her, along with Marlin and Nemo, on a quest across the ocean to find them.

    The character Dory is portraying a Regal Tang, also known as a Blue Tang, Palette Surgeonfish, Pacific Blue Tang or Hippo Tang. With the release of the movie we anticipate a high interest in the demand for our friend the Regal Tang. The Regal Tang can be successfully kept at home, but it requires specialist knowledge and maintenance. Let’s find out more information about this charming fish.

    The Regal Tang has a vibrant electric blue body with a bold black marking. The black marking resembles an artist’s palette hence the name variations. The caudal fin is a bright yellow making this fish one of the most beautiful additions to a saltwater aquarium.

    If you want to keep the Regal Tang up to its adult size at home you will want at least a 1,200 litre aquarium. This will allow for plenty of space for the fish to grow, swim and thrive. As a juvenile the Regal Tang will measure just 5cm but will grow to up to 35cm.

    Regal Tangs are not usually aggressive and they live peacefully with other tank mates. We would recommend choosing from Yellow Tangs, Clownfish, Damsels, Cardinalfish and Hawkfish.

    They need to be fed meaty foods as well as plenty of marine based seaweed and algae. This will keep the fish healthy and peaceful.

    Although they are one of the most popular fish for saltwater aquariums, Regal Tangs are not a great choice for beginners. Therefore, we would recommend weekly professional maintenance to ensure that your “Dory” is happy and healthy. And please don’t flush it down the toilet as it will definitely not end up in the ocean!
