Such as…
Marlin & Nemo > Clown fish
Dory > Blue tang fish
Gill > Moorish Idol
Bloat > Porcupine fish
Gurgle > Fairy basslet
Deb (flo) > Damsel fish
Jacques > Pacific cleaner shrimp
Bubbles > Yellow tang
Is this possible and how would I go about doing it?
I really want to know- please help me- any input is awesome! Thanks.
Bubbles and dory are my favorite!! Yes though if you have a huge tank like a 200 gallon tank it gonna be hard to clean though and extremly expensive!!!

I know the clownfish, damsel, shrimp, blue tang and yellow tang can go together, but you need a 150+ gallon tank. Not sure about the other fish.

Moorish idols are very difficult to keep alive in captivity. The porcupine fish would probably eat the cleaner shrimp. And most people don’t advocate keeping two types of tangs together unless you have a very large tank. The three stripe damsel will get relatively large and usually very territorial. The rest should be able to coexist quite well given an adequately sized tank.

Good Luck if you get this set up!
I do beleive all these are compatible.

The clowns and damsels will likely fight with each other.
The tangs won’t get along unless the tank is very large.
Moorish Idols tend to die quickly in captivity, and sometimes they’ll nip at cleaner shrimp.
Assuming you could get around this, the tank would need to be huge. Also, the tangs require well-oxygenated water, the basslet needs near-perfect conditions, and the shrimp won’t tolerate high nitrates. Finally, although the shrimp and tangs will nip at hair algae, you have no way of countering diatoms or a cyanobacteria (slime algae) bloom.
All-in-all, your skills would need to be good. I’d start with easier fish and work your way up.

Nope! You can’t keep two tangs together. ALSO keeping this many fish will require a big tank and you want to keep a lot of pretty touchy fish. Moorish Idols and tangs are really finicky fish.
