A sewage machine company warns the little chilluns about flushing their fishies:

“In truth, no one would ever find Nemo and the movie would be called ‘Grinding Nemo,”‘ wrote the JWC Environmental company, which makes the trademarked “Muffin Monster” shredding pumps.

Nemo’s a Percula clownfish (in center), which as we all know is a saltwater variety, but I’m willing to bet a lot of these dudes are going to end up dead in goldfish bowls before it’s all over. Sad.

More on Nemo and fish-keeping, and more on fish-keeper reactions to Nemo.

  1. The death and destruction caused by importation of sea life pales in comparison to the trade in birds and other “higher” forms of life. While fish probably don’t have much intellect, I think it can be argued that many of the larger birds seem quite intelligent and interact with their environment in complex social patterns. I think putting birds in a cage does them a lot more harm than keeping fish in an aquarium.

  2. Yup. Most clownfishes are bred in tanks, so there’s no impact to the environment from the clownfish trade; tangs are different (the blue fish in Nemo is a Regal Tang), because they have quirky reproductive habits that only work in the wild. The major damage to the ocean from fish is cyanide poisoning of the coral reefs, which the fish people are trying to stop by having fish collectors use nets instead of squeeze bottles of sodium cyanide, esp. in the Philippines right now, and in Thailand later on.

    But there’s not enough of that to do much damage to the reefs, which are suffering more from pollution and warming than anything else.
