    So the dentist in finding Nemo had absolutely no chance of keeping a Moorish idol in his tank. Theres zero corral, zero sponges, everything was artificial with nothing that a moorish idol needs. After watching this video, I am not surprised that Gil wanted to get out of that tank and jumped out of it the first time.
