Nemo/Relationships

These are Nemo's relationships in the film Finding Nemo. These are the only known relationships to date.
== Family ==
=== Marlin ===
Nemo loves his dad very much and has fun with him. However, Marlin was overprotective of his son because Nemo's mother Coral and their 399 children were eaten by a barracuda. After his wife died, Marlin moved Nemo to a more secure home, but he wouldn't let him go to school for a long time and worried about Nemo constantly. Nemo was somewhat annoyed by that because he felt fine and ready. After Nemo left for a field trip with his class, Marlin rushed after the class when he learns they were going to the drop off, which causes him to panic. After arriving and seeing where Nemo was he panicked as he thought Nemo was swimming out there but Nemo insisted he wasn't going to, even his friends tried to help but Marlin wouldn't have it. Despite Nemo's protests that he was fine Marlin, disagreed and decided they should wait a few more years before going to school. Nemo is fed up and tells his dad he can take care of himself and he's not afraid of the ocean like Marlin is. Marlin firmly tells Nemo he is not ready and can't do these things, out of anger Nemo tells his father he hates him which leaves Marlin shocked. When Marlin talks to Mr. Ray, Nemo out of anger and determination swims towards the boat, he ignores his father's calls and deliberately touches the boat (which impresses his friends). Marlin tells Nemo he is in big trouble, but suddenly a diver appears frightening everyone, Nemo calls for help but another diver blocks Marlin as Nemo is taken away. Marlin then went to get Nemo back despite losing the boat. After being put in the fish tank Nemo called for his father wanting him back, but deep down Nemo believed his father wasn't looking for him because he is scared of the ocean. However when Nigel informs everyone of Marlin's journey to get there Nemo is amazed and decides to go through with the escape plan to get back to the ocean.
== Friends ==
=== Pearl ===
Nemo first met Pearl after she and two of her friends swam over to meet him. Unlike the other two, Pearl was actually kind to Nemo and asked what was wrong with his fin. Marlin explained Nemo's had it since he was born, she then shows him one of her tentacles which is shorter than her others but no one could tell. 
=== Sheldon ===
After he and the other two friends swam over, he was hit by his dad because it was thought that he said something mean to Nemo and his small fin. Sheldon explains to Nemo that he is H2O intolerant and sneezes. When Mr. Ray came, Sheldon invited Nemo to come with them, but Marlin held Nemo back.
=== Tad ===
When first meeting Nemo and Pearl asks about his small fin, Tad said it looked funny. After Marlin explained that Nemo was born with it, after that Tad tried to help Nemo fit in by explaining he's obnoxious.
=== Dory ===
Nemo and Dory met properly after she and Marlin broke up. Nemo noticed she looked upset so he asked what was wrong, she confessed that she had no idea where she was or what she's doing. Nemo calmed her down and suggested that since they were both looking for someone they could look together. After Nemo introduced himself, Dory forgot that he was the one Marlin was looking for. While searching, Dory reads something that immediately jogs her memory and is so thrilled she found Nemo, she immediately took him to his father where they reunited. Unlike Marlin, Nemo is more patient with Dory and her short-term memory loss (likely because he understands what it is like to have a disability), even standing up to his father for her, and helps her when he can. As time went by, Nemo also began to view Dory as a mother as she cared for him very much. 
=== Gill ===
While showing a somewhat neutral reaction to Nemo getting stuck, he knew that Nemo could get himself out and gave him encouragement. That night Nemo was welcomed into the gang and Gill nicknamed Nemo “Shark-bait”. After that, Gill becomes like a second father to Nemo as he encouraged Nemo to try big things. 
=== Tank Gang ===
The tank gang becomes a second family to Nemo when he is at the dentist office. 
=== Squirt ===
Nemo and Squirt are good friends. Nemo introduces Squirt to Mr Ray.
===Jenny and Charlie===
Nemo is on good terms with Dory's Parents. They thank him and Marlin for finding her.
