Just Keep Swimming!

We are more then positive that you have ALL heard of the movie Finding Nemo. And we are pretty sure that you know on of the famous fish named, Dory. Well have you ever wondered what kind of fish she actually is? If so she is known as a blue surgeon fish. They are also known as a Blue Hippo Tang. The blue surgeon fish can grow up to 31cm long. They are usually found in the range of East Africa to Indonesia. Just like all reef dwelling creatures, the protection of coral reef ecosystem is essential to continue the species of blue surgeon fish. These fish, when they are young, they prefer to hide in the branching corals, and are typically found at a depth of 2-25 meters in the ocean.

If anyone has any ideas as to what else you would like to know, comment beloww!(:
