From our species guide
In plain words: Dory in the movies Finding Nemo and Finding Dory is a blue hippo tang. This fish is bright blue with a black mark shaped a bit like a painter's paint tray, and its tail is yellow. It lives on coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
The blue hippo tang is one of the most recognizable fish on the reef, with its royal-blue body, black palette marking and yellow tail.
They grow large and need a big, mature tank with stable water. Feed a varied diet rich in marine algae to keep their immune system strong.
