=== Ariel ===
Ariel is Flounder's best friend. Since their initial meeting, Flounder and Ariel developed a strong friendship. Ariel was often annoyed with Flounder's cowardliness and would playfully call him a "guppy", much to his annoyance. Despite Flounder's timid nature, Flounder is very loyal to Ariel and would follow her on any adventure she goes on. Also, Flounder would try to defend Ariel whenever she got in trouble and comfort her when she is sad. In addition, Flounder would do anything to make Ariel happy. For example, he found the statue of Prince Eric and put it in Ariel's grotto, knowing she was very much in love with the human prince. When Flounder showed her the statue, Ariel gave him a big hug. However, after her grotto was destroyed by King Triton who had discovered his daughter's love for a human, Flounder was heartbroken for Ariel as she broke down in tears.
After Ariel became human during a bargain with Ursula, Flounder came to Ariel's side and helped her swim up to shore before she could drown. As Ariel explored life on land, Flounder willingly helped Ariel get Eric to fall in love with her. When Ursula, disguised as Vanessa and put Eric under her spell to marry him, Flounder was sad for Ariel until Scuttle informed them of Ursula's deception. Flounder then immediately helped Ariel get to the wedding boat so she can save Eric. After the death of Ursula and Ariel becoming a permanent human, thanks to her father, Flounder attended Ariel and Eric's wedding. Ariel gave Flounder a kiss and Flounder waved good-bye to Ariel before he watched Ariel leave to start her new life with Eric.
=== Sebastian ===
Flounder's relationship with Sebastian started off with them being acquaintances due to the fact they were part of the secret Catfish Club Band after King Triton had banned music from Atlantica when his wife died. After Ariel prevented Flounder from getting in trouble after he made some music, Sebastian angrily glared at Flounder for nearly getting in trouble, but becomes sad as he knew Flounder had accidentally played some music. After Sebastian and Flounder were thrown in jail by Triton who had discovered their music club, they shared the same cell until they were freed by Ariel.
Flounder was unaware of Sebastian using their chance to escape prison to help Ariel find her mother's music box until Ariel had found the music box. Unlike the rest of the members of the Catfish Club, Flounder decided to accompany Sebastian and Ariel in returning to Atlantica and presenting the music box to King Triton so music can be brought back into the kingdom. However, when being attacked by Marina Del Rey, Sebastian protected Flounder, shielding him from Marina and her electric eels. When the eels chased after Flounder, Sebastian came to his aid where he grabbed onto one of the eels' tail until Flounder managed to tie the eels into a knot. After Triton brings music back to Atlantica and appoints Sebastian the royal court composer, Sebastian was congratulated by Flounder.
Years later, Sebastian stayed good friends with Flounder. When Sebastian and Flounder discovered Ariel falling in love with a human named Prince Eric, Sebastian told Flounder not to tell King Triton about it as he was worried will happen if the sea king found out. However, after Sebastian accidentally revealed Ariel's rescue of Eric to Triton (believing he already found out), Flounder was not angry with Sebastian as he knew that Sebastian did not mean to do it. When Ariel went with Flotsam and Jetsam to meet Ursula, Sebastian and Flounder followed Ariel as they were both concerned over her on meeting the sea witch. Sebastian and Flounder watched in horror as Ariel made a bargain with Ursula and they worked together in getting Ariel to the surface after she was turned into a human.
Later, Sebastian and Flounder work together in getting Prince Eric to fall in love with Ariel where they keep in touch to let each other know when Eric has kissed Ariel or not. Sebastian was even helped by Flounder in performing a romantic song to get Ariel and Eric to kiss, only to fail when the couple's boat was tipped over by Flotsam and Jetsam. On the third day of Ariel's bargain, when Scuttle revealed that Eric was under a spell by Ursula and was going to marry her, Sebastian had Flounder help Ariel get to the wedding boat so she can save Eric before he rushed off to warn Triton of Ursula's plot.
During the battle against Ursula, Sebastian and Flounder work together in saving Eric from being drowned by Flotsam and Jetsam. They then watch in horror when Ursula grows into a massive size and witness Ursula being killed by Eric. After Ursula's death, both Sebastian and Flounder attend Ariel and Eric's wedding after King Triton allows his daughter to become a human. After Sebastian manages to give Chef Louis a humiliating defeat, he is congratulated by Flounder before the two watch Ariel and Eric leave to start their new life together.
=== Scuttle ===
Flounder has a good relationship with Scuttle. Despite being annoyed with the seagull's clumsiness, Flounder does view Scuttle as a good friend and often sought him out when identifying and describing any human objects that he and Ariel would find in ocean.
After Ariel turned into a human due to making a bargain with Ursula, Flounder explained to Scuttle how Ariel has to get Prince Eric to fall in love with her in three days so she can become a human permanently. Scuttle agreed to aid Flounder in helping Ariel get Eric to fall in love with her. As Ariel spent time with Eric, both Flounder and Scuttle were impatient in having to wait for Eric give Ariel a kiss so she can be a human permanently. They both watched Ariel and Eric spend a day together and they helped Sebastian perform a romantic song to get Ariel and Eric to confess their love with a kiss, only to fail due to the intervention of Ursula's eels, Flotsam and Jetsam.
On the third day of Ariel's bargain, Flounder got informed by Scuttle that Eric is under a hypnotic spell cast by Ursula so he can marry her, thus breaking her deal with Ariel. Shocked at this news, Flounder and Scuttle worked together in stopping Ursula, in order to save both Ariel and Eric. After Ursula has been defeated, Flounder and Scuttle both attend Ariel's wedding to Eric after her father to become a human permanently. Flounder was carried by Scuttle who flew up to Ariel so they both can say goodbye to her before they watched her leave to start her new life with Eric.
=== King Triton ===
Like every sea creature in the ocean, Flounder respected King Triton, the ruler of Atlantica. Yet, when Triton banned music from his kingdom after the death of his wife, Queen Athena, Flounder secretly disobeyed the king's laws by being a part of the secret Catfish Club Band. When Triton discovered the music club after being informed by his daughters' governess, Marina Del Rey, he wrongfully arrested Flounder, Sebastian, and the other members of the music club. However, Triton managed to realize the error of his ways, thanks to Ariel and Sebastian, and lifts the ban on music while pardoning Flounder, leaving them on good terms.
Years later, Flounder remained on good terms with the king although he disapproved of Triton being so strict with Ariel and hating humans without realizing their good nature. Nevertheless, like most sea creatures, Flounder did fear Triton's temper as he hid in fear when Triton angrily confronted Ariel after Sebastian accidentally informed him that she rescued a human named Prince Eric.
Nevertheless, when Triton changed his views on humans and allowed Ariel to be with Eric, after the defeat of Ursula, Flounder and Triton continued to being on good terms with each other as they attended Ariel and Eric's wedding before watching them leave to start their new life together.

=== Ursula ===
Like all sea creatures and merpeople, Flounder feared Ursula as he knew of her reputation as a sea witch. When Flounder heard Ariel was planning to go see Ursula, following an argument with her father, Flounder did not hesitate to follow her, fearing that Ursula may do some sort of harm to Ariel. When Flounder and Sebastian arrived at Ursula's lair, Flounder was horrified at the sight of the sea witch's garden, but he continued entering through the sea witch's lair as he was mostly concerned about Ariel. When Flounder and Sebastian found Ariel making a bargain with Ursula, Flounder became horrified to hear that if Ariel does not succeed in getting Prince Eric to fall in love with her and kiss her in three days, she would be bound to Ursula for eternity. Flounder then became even more terrified as he watched Ariel agree to Ursula's deal before witnessing his friend's voice being taken and being turned into a human. Flounder then helped Ariel get to the surface after she became a human as the sea witch laughed maniacally.
As Flounder helped Ariel get Eric to fall in love with her, he was unaware of Ursula secretly taking every measure to prevent Ariel from succeeding on her side of the bargain due to it being a part of the sea witch's sinister plot to overthrow King Triton and take over Atlantica. On the third day of Ariel's bargain, Flounder, along with Ariel and Sebastian, was alerted by Scuttle that Ursula had placed Eric under a spell to marry her under the disguise of a beautiful woman. Flounder became shocked that Ursula was planning to break her bargain with Ariel before he grew determined to stop the sea witch by helping Ariel get to the wedding boat, in order to save both Eric and Ariel.
After Ariel failed to kiss Eric on time and King Triton being turned into a polyp before Ursula took his crown and trident, Flounder started to battle against Ursula where he stopped her eels, Flotsam and Jetsam from drowning Eric. Then, Flounder became so terrified when Ursula grew into a massive size, only to witness her get killed by Eric when he impales her with a sunken ship's splintered bow, saving Ariel from the sinister sea witch.
=== Flotsam and Jetsam ===
After witnessing King Triton destroy Ariel's grotto during a heated argument with his daughter, Flounder saw Ariel leaving with Flotsam and Jetsam to meet with Ursula the sea witch after the two eels offered to take Ariel to their mistress in order to help make her dreams come true. After Flounder and Sebastian followed Ariel and the eels to Ursula's lair, Flounder and Sebastian were prevented by Flotsam and Jetsam from talking Ariel out of making a bargain with Ursula as the eels wrapped around them to keep their mouths shut.
Later, during the final battle against Ursula after she managed to trick King Triton into taking Ariel's place in the bargain, Flounder and Sebastian saw Flotsam and Jetsam attempting to drown Prince Eric on Ursula's orders when he threw a harpoon at the sea witch. Flounder and Sebastian fight off Flotsam and Jetsam, with Flounder using his fins to hit one of the eels, in order to save Eric. After Flounder and Sebastian managed to get the eels to release their grip on Eric, they swim off before Flotsam and Jetsam are accidentally killed when Ariel caused Ursula to redirect a blast from her father's trident.

=== Marina Del Rey ===
Flounder first met Marina Del Rey after she informed King Triton of the underground music club Flounder was a part of, leaving Flounder, Sebastian, and members of the Catfish Club Band to be arrested. Flounder met Marina again when she confronted him, Sebastian, and Ariel on their way to return to Atlantica after finding Queen Athena's music box. Marina ordered her eels to kill Flounder and Ariel while she dueled Sebastian, but they were saved by the members of the Catfish Club Band. Flounder fought Marina's eels to protect his friends and managed to defeat them by tricking them into getting tangled up together. When Marina tried to attack Sebastian, Flounder watched in horror as Ariel stopped Marina by getting injured in the process. After Ariel was revealed to be alright, Marina was imprisoned for her crimes against Flounder and his friends.
