As a dad who has had to "Do a Nemo story" countless times using the Finding Nemo Magnetic playscheme (Magnetix) I have found it frustrating not to know the names of the characters in the movie. So as a service to others I present my research on this issue. Of course being a science geek I also felt in necessary to find out what sort of fish the characters were and so appearing here is the fish's common and scientific name.
This information is based on an arcticle at ClassBrain.Com which contained the names of the characters, their common and scientific names but no pictures. I needed the pictures, so with the danger of raising the ire of Disney inc I include them here. The images of the characters are copyright Disney/Pixar.
