Aquatic Life.

Remember Marlen going off in search of his son in Sydney in the Pixar film Finding Nemo?

Remember the type of fish Nemo was?

Nemo was an ocellaris clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) or common clownfish. This is a popular fish found in the Eastern Indian Ocean and in the western Pacific Ocean.[6]   They can also be found in Northern Australia, Southeast Asia and Japan.[2]
