TO anyone who likes those poor tropical fish captured in artificial environments with plastic rocks in aquariums – the fish that look like Nemo – they need to watch this movie, The Real Nemo Story, that reveals where they come from and who captures them under dangerous diving conditions: youtu.be/CqhPouFvnYw.

This trade in wild live animals should be banned.

Fish are proven to be very intelligent beings that live in communities and need their natural environment and must be completely traumatised by this treatment.

They are kept in plastic bags for weeks as they are transported live to feed the silly demand for Nemos after that movie.
