Well, the word is out thatFinding Dory，迪斯尼/皮克斯的长期期待续集Finding Nemo，最终将于2016年6月发行。如果续集的影响与原始作品一样 - 许多年轻人大声疾呼将电影的“明星”作为宠物作为宠物，那么我怀疑从明年夏天开始，Pacific blue tang(Paracanthurus hepatus), the species that Dory represents, will be very popular indeed.
I have to admit I’m conflicted about the pending release of this film. On the one hand, ifFinding Doryholds up to the quality of the original in terms of animation and entertainment value, it will be well worth viewing. Jaded as I am by decades in the hobby and having spent plenty of time on real coral reefs感谢水肺奇迹, I still find the visually lavish representation of the ocean realm inFinding Nemoquite compelling. Plus, anything that sparks kids’ interest in marine life has to be a good thing, right?
On the other hand, a burgeoning interest among youngsters in keepingP. hepatusin a home aquarium probably doesn’t bode well for the species. Sure, it was troubling when every other child wanted to keep his or her own Nemo, but at least两亲骨is a rugged little fish (especially if captive-bred) and generally suited to life in relatively small aquariums. With a certain degree of adult oversight, it’s possible for a child to keep one alive, though the circumstances would probably be less than ideal.
The same cannot be said for Dory.P. hepatus宪法比A. Ocellaris, is rather disease-prone, and demands a very large and mature tank, near-pristine water quality, andvigorous circulation. In other words, Dory is a very poor choice for a child’s first saltwater tank. Specimens purchased for kids on a whim are virtually assured an untimely death.
因此，如果多里（Dory）像尼莫（Nemo）对普通小丑的同样的方式点燃了孩子对拥有太平洋蓝唐（Pacific Blue Tangs）的兴趣，那么是否有任何认真的业余爱好者可以采取任何措施来帮助限制父母在冲动上获得的标本数量，而父母可能不了解任何更好的东西？
We can always start with family members and friends who know about our involvement in the hobby. If they should seek our input before making such a purchase for their child, we can offer helpful advice on the challenges of marine aquarium keeping in general and of keepingP. hepatusin particular, thus (hopefully) dissuading this ill-considered venture.
在这方面，我们可能在这方面具有一定程度的影响力的另一个地方是我们当地的鱼类商店。例如，我们可以鼓励出售的经销商P. hepatus发布标牌详细说明其苛刻的护理和住房要求，并表明尽管多莉的魅力，但对于孩子的坦克来说，该物种并不是一个不错的选择。
Of course, if our own kids are clamoring for a “Dory fish,” we may be in a position to acquire a specimen if we have or are willing to set up a suitable system. Otherwise, we can use this as a “teachable moment” and explain to our budding hobbyists that sometimes it’s in the best interest of the marine animals we love to leave them in the ocean.
