What kind of a fish is Dory in Finding Nemo?

[Rock'n Robin]

DD#1 is doing a presentation on a kind of fish in science, but two groups already have "clown fish"--anyone know what kind of fish Dory is?

I don't know, but My dad and I were in a chicken place here recently picking up chicken tenders for the kids at our family get together, and they had a huge tank that seemed to hold all of the fishy characters from Finding Nemo. I got a real kick out of watching the kids there and even got into naming them with the kids.
