So who went out and bought a Blue Tang?
Nice to have company for the goldfish in my tank. Although going bigger than 10 gallon might be recommended. Funny how movies can inspire buying related pets.

I know yours is an old post, but I had to respond -
Goldfish are freshwater fish and tropical fish like the Regal Blue Tang are saltwater fish - they wouldn't co-exist or survive in the same tank.
The movie made a mistake, if the assumption that Darla's dead pet goldfish was a previous inhabitant of the dentists aquarium.
You would need a minimum of 30 gallons aquarium to successfully house tropical fish. Blue Tangs grow quite large and are active swimmers.
Get some good expert advice before making your purchase. A good tip is: Spirulina is good for tropical fish as part of their diet.
Good luck.
Movies can inspire pet buying? Would anyone buy a tiger after seeing Life of Pi? LOL
Hypothetical High Five...(pause)...Nice!
Seding "Under Dog" made me desperately want a dog. I was sold on getting a beagle, but after a ton of research and time, i found a breed that exceeded my every expectation. Plus, he was a reacue, of sorts. Couldn't have imagined a better fit for me. My dog is just fantastic for me.

Movies can inspire pet buying. When 101 Dalmatians came out, they overbred them which resulted in more dogs than the demand could handle. It also resulted in a lot of sickly dogs. On the converse, when the movie "As Good As It Gets" came up, most Brussels Griffon breeders refused to overbreed which created a huge demand for the dogs but it also preserved the integrity of the breeding stock.
