Corrected entry: When Nemo goes into the filter for the second time to try and block it, the other aquarium fish panic and try to get him out, by using the long thin plant again. However, the only way for Nemo to reach this plant would be to block the filter, so would have no need of rescue. In other words it's impossible to escape the filter once he's in it without blocking it, so the other fishes' plan to get him out was a bit pointless.

Correction: The other fishes know that Nemo was successful in blocking the filter briefly last time, so it's reasonable for them to assume that he'll manage it again - getting the plant is to pull him out afterwards, assuming that it's all going to go wrong like it did last time. Besides, there's nothing else that they can do - it's better to do something, even if it might be pointless, than do nothing at all.
