Photo #1 is of the elusive Cheshire catfish, Anarhichas felisia var surridea. This species can be rare, especially where there are high populations of Anarhichas lupus.

I am quite certain that number 2 is Amphiprion rhinocerotidae, a close relative to the ocellaris clownfish that (rather unfortunately) my roommates call "Nemo"-- I suggest we dub these "Rhino"

I can't stand hearing screaming children (or adults) yell "Nemo fish!" "Nemo fish!" every time I go into a pet store. What the heck did they call them before "Finding Nemo" came out?

Thousands of "Nemos" are being killed every year thanks to that movie. I guess that I can at least be glad that tank-raised clownfish are available to offset some of the natural impact. A. ocellaris, and A. percula are the "traditional" clownfish that most resemble the fish from the movie. You may call them either "Anemonefish" or just "Clownfish" to avoid pet-store owners kicking you in the face. Every time a new (uneducated) person comes into my dorm room to see my aquarium, my clownfish gets called Nemo. It's rather disgusting.

Yeah, I know their real name...I call them "Anemonefish" myself. It's just that it seems everyone else forgot what that name was. I have heard/read some horrific tales about what anemonefish have had to go through. Freshwater tanks, being flushed down the toilet...everything. Though I have to admit, I enjoyed the movie. I'm not about to blame a movie, I blame the idiotic people who watched it.
