Regal Tang: “Dory” The Regal Blue Tang, Dory in Finding Nemo, comes from the family of surgeon fish and can be identified by its royal blue body, yellow tail, and black “palette” design.
Physical appearance. Dory is a round-shaped regal blue tang with yellow on her fins and tail. She has magenta eyes, black spots, and a small but brightly colored dorsal fin.
These problems in encoding new information are hallmarks of anterograde amnesia. Dory describes her condition as “short-term memory loss” which is the way most people refer to the problem of encoding new information that is the hallmark of anterograde amnesia.

Why is Dory called Dory?
The common name dory (from the Middle English dorre, from the Middle French doree, lit. "gilded one") is shared (officially and colloquially) by members of several different families of large-eyed, silvery, deep-bodied, laterally compressed, and roughly discoid marine fish.
The companionship that emerges is completely genuine. Nonetheless, Dory and Marlin's relationship is a complicated and interesting one. Some view Dory as Marlin's companion and speculate that the two are actually lovers.
Dory suffers from severe short-term memory loss, but a lot of what she goes through can be adapted to other contexts, such as the world, or ocean, of ADHD. Dory has trouble with multi-step directions, is easily distracted, and is very impulsive.
It's quite obvious that Dory has anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to form new memories. I also see many of the signs of ADHD within the character.
On coral reefs, “Dory,” the small vibrant blue fish with black stripes and a yellow tail, is known by several other names: Hippo Tang, Royal Blue Tang, Regal Tang, Palette Surgeonfish and by the scientific name Paracanthurus hepatus.
Dory's species of blue tang, Paracanthurus hepatus, has many different names: blue tang, doctorfish, common surgeon, regal tang, palette surgeonfish, royal blue tang, hippo tang, flagtail surgeonfish, Pacific regal blue tang, and blue surgeonfish.
One of the most famous examples of coral fish is the clownfish, which starred in the animated Pixar film Finding Nemo in 2003. This small fish, which lives in symbiosis with the sea anemone, is easily recognisable thanks to its bright orange body and wide white stripes.
The Disney character Dory is actually a Blue Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus), also known as a Palette Surgeonfish, Pacific Blue Tang, Hepatus, or Regal Tang.

Dory, a happy-go-lucky Regal Blue Tang, suffers from anterograde amnesia, or the inability to form new memories. It was well-established in Finding Nemo that Dory has this condition, which is more commonly known as short-term memory loss.
Plot. Bart is behaving wildly: he teases and exasperates Principal Skinner, and floods the gymnasium and the schoolyard (coincidentally saving Ned Flanders, who had caught fire). Skinner has Homer and Marge come to the school, and tells them Bart has attention deficit disorder (ADD).
Nemo. Dory has a motherly relationship with Nemo. When the two met, she was relieved to find someone with kindness, and offered to help him look for his father, although she didn't remember she was looking for him too.
Nemo is an Ocellaris Clownfish that generally stays small and requires a minimum tank size of only 20 gallons. In order for the larger Dory to join Nemo, the tank must be a minimum of 125 gallons.
Nemo is a curious and impressionable six-year-old, only child who lives with his overprotective, single-parent father, Marlin. Having led a sheltered life, Nemo brims with the excitement of starting school and finally seeing the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
She's been wandering the ocean trying to find her family since she was a guppy: years before the events of Finding Nemo, two fish voiced by Kate McKinnon and Bill Hader hear a child's voice calling out of the darkness. It's Dory, rendered an orphan by her short-term memory loss.
