The actual age order of the sisters is debatable, as various official Disney media that had been released from 1989 onward used the above order as their birth order, but the 2008 film The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning states that Attina is the oldest and the DVD's Vanity Game feature states that the age order is Attina - 22, Alana - 21, Adella - 20, Aquata - 19, Arista - 18, Andrina - 17 and Ariel - 16. But in the film the revealed order is this Attina-22, Aquata-21, Arista-20, Andrina-19, Adella-18, Alana-17 and Ariel-16.

In the original film, they all have blue eyes like Ariel and are voiced by Kimmy Robertson and Caroline Vasicek. In the prequel film, their eye colors differ. The book Disney 365 Bedtime Stories also features Aquata to be Ariel's eldest sister and seems to be rather concerned about Ariel, like Attina is concerned about her youngest sister in the third film. Unlike the sequel and prequel films, the TV series shows Adella to be a little chubbier, but all the sisters have blue eyes in the TV series as well. The errors on the clipart reveal that the colors of Aquata and Adella are switched in some images.

In the 1989 film, all six sisters appear in the beginning to sing "Daughters of Triton". Later on in the film, some of the sisters (Andrina, Attina, Adella and Aquata) make a brief appearance together with Ariel in what appears to be the palace dressing room meant for all the sisters. In that scene, Ariel emerges from behind a curtain of seaweed swimming dreamily and humming a few lines from "Part of Your World". The sisters notice the change in Ariel's behavior and conclude (in front of King Triton) that Ariel is in love. All six sisters appear again in the end of the film together with King Triton, smiling and waving to Ariel after she gets married to Eric.

In the TV episode called "Land of Dinosaurs", these sisters prepared for going on a vacation to the North Pole as their youngest sister planned despite what Flounder thinks and towards the end, they are scared of and chased away by the dinosaurs Ariel has thawed with their father's magical trident.

In the second film, the sisters play a very minor role and only Attina, Andrina, Aquata and Adella appear in the film. Arista also makes a brief cameo going to the surface with the other merpeople.

All of these sisters sing a few more songs like "There's Only One Ariel" and "She's In Love". Arista, Attina and Adella appear in one page of the book called "Special Song" as members of the audience.
