During the movie Finding Nemo, Marlin is transitioning into a female clownfish. Clownfish are protandrous hermaphrodites, all individuals are born male and then transition into a female at some point in their life.
Nemo is one of the main characters of Finding Nemo and one of the main characters of Finding Dory. He is the son of Marlin and Coral. Like his father, mother and unborn children, he is a young clownfish.
Dory is the third female protagonist in a Pixar film, the first two being Merida and Joy. She is also Pixar's third titular character, the first two being Nemo and WALL-E, and the second titular character to be a protagonist overall, the first one being WALL-E.

Who is Dory in love with?
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.
Marlin is Nemo's father, who is careful, meticulous, and sometimes too jumpy and anxious for his son's liking. He named Nemo's smaller fin, his lucky fin, which happened when Marlin found Nemo's egg cracked after the barracuda attack.
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.
If you had not asked this question, I never would have researched to find out that, yes, mature clown fish males (Nemo's dad) do turn female when the female clown fish (Nemo's mother) dies and depends on the environment.
Nemo hatches as an undifferentiated hermaphrodite (as all clownfish are born) while his father transforms into a female now that his female mate is dead. Since Nemo is the only other clownfish around, he becomes a male and mates with his father (who is now a female).
Combining expert opinion with graphics to map their complex reproductive hierarchy, she explains that all clownfish have male and female reproductive organs. This means if a breeding female is lost, the dominant male can switch sex to replace her.
Clownfish (like Nemo from the Pixar movie) are protandrous. This species lives within sea anemones in groups of two large fish and many small fish. The two large fish are the only sexually mature fish and are a male and female breeding pair. All of the smaller fish are male.
Barracuda have a formidable reputation as ruthless predators—even depicted in Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo as the merciless villain that kills Nemo's mother.
Desperate for food, he ate all of the eggs. Two possibilities are that Marlin ate all but one of the eggs before coming to his senses, or that he ate them all and then had his mental breakdown similar to the first theory.
Coral is a minor character in Disney/Pixar's 2003 animated film, Finding Nemo. She was the mate of Marlin and mother of Nemo and approximately 399 unborn clownfish. Unfortunately, Coral and her entire family were attacked by a barracuda in which all of them except Marlin and Nemo perished.
Little Nemo in Slumberland was a full-page weekly comic strip created by the American cartoonist and animator, Windsor McCay in 1905. In each instalment, a boy named Nemo ("no one" in Latin) dreams up a wild adventure which always ends with him waking up at home, in bed.
That's right, we're talking about the opening scene in the movie, where a giant barracuda attacks the home of Nemo's dad, Marlin, and ends up eating Nemo's mom and all of his future brothers and sisters. It's heartbreaking, tragic and a reminder to why Marlin is so protective over his only son, Nemo.
The protagonist, Nemo, displays a small, or "deformed," fin that is a congenital result of a fatal attack on his mother and sibling eggs—a corporeal characteristic that the story surrounds, yet does not drown in.
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.
Dory was initially supposed to be a male character during the pre-production of the film. Andrew Stanton admits to struggling with a writing block upon the character. That was until he overheard his wife watching an episode of the sitcom Ellen.
On the pursuit to find Nemo, Marlins come across Dory, a Pacific regal blue tang who becomes Marlin's sidekick on the voyage to find Nemo. Dory has chronic short term memory loss.
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.
QBI researcher Dr Fabio Cortesi said the Great Barrier Reef anemonefish was basically Nemo's cousin. “We looked at everything starting with the genes they use to see and what proteins they express, and in combination with anatomical data, predicted what these anemonefish can see,” he said.
