Is a Finding Nemo tank possible??

I was wondering... would it be possible to create a saltwater tank made of of species from Finding Nemo?? (I've only kept freshwater so I really don't know anything about saltwater fish!)


Nemo/Marlin = Clownfish
Dory = Regal (or Blue) Tang
Tad = Yellow Longnose Butterfly fish
Pearl = Flapjack Octopus only if possible... maybe not.
Sheldon = Sea Horse
Gill = Moorish Idol
Bloat = Pufferfish
Peach = Starfish
Bubbles = Yellow Tang
Deb/Flo = Some sort of Black and White Humbug (4-Stripe Damselfish)
Jacques = Some sort of skunk cleaning shrimp
Gurgle = Royal Gramma Basslet

Moonfish = Moonfish (I would substitute for a school of some smaller gray fish)

Here are more characters... I obviously can't get these sharks. I was thinking of getting some sort of saltwater little shark/catfish. Turtles, I wouldn't do I think... same with the sting ray. lol
Squirt/Crush = Sea Turtle
Bruce = Great White Shark
Chum = Mako Shark
Anchor = Hammerhead Shark
Mr. Ray = Sting Ray (Probably not do this..)

Also... anemones.

How possible would this be?! I know this is kind of a pain of a post.... but with everyone's own expertise, I just might be able to figure everything out. If everyone posts just about what they know, I can combine it all!

If I can have that specific fish... how many do they need to be happy?

I hope to be able to do all the research on this so in a few years when I invest in a really large saltwater tank, I know what I want!! I know I obviously won't be able to have all of them. I'm just looking to see what are the possibilities..!!!!!!!

Thanks!!

you won't be able to. the seahorse will get stressed cause he is slow and the fast moving fish will stress him out.

From what I have heard, Moorish idols are really hard to keep in a home aquarium.

Yeah, I thought I said no octopus.

I'm waiting to see tank size until I know how much tank space I will need in the end!

I thought dwarf puffers were FW? Or is it one of the dwarf species of Saltwater puffers?

This is what I've found out so far....

Clownfish ~ 4" x 2 = 8"
Royal Gramma Basslet ~ 4"
Blue Tang ~ 12" (but need a 100g)
Yellow Longnose Butterfly ~ 8" (may not be good for reef's :-\)
Puffers ~ 12" (not a reef fish! :'()
Moorish Idol ~ 6" x 4 = 24" (Extrememly hard to keep... not good for reefs)

**Sigh** So it looks like I can have 2 clownfish, 1 basslet, and 1 blue tang!! All in a 100 gallon tank. hmmmm guess I'll have to figure something else out.

(I made a mistake for the dwarf puffers... they are freshwater...)
