I don't recall Belldandy ever becoming a mermaid, in either the anime or

"Tenchi Muyo GPX": In one ep, one of Seina's harem(ish) hangers-on,
the undercover space pirate who initially disguised herself as a Wau
(one of the dog-people), temporarily turns into a mermaid while at the
beach, including gill-slits on her flanks. And a pink tail that
partially exposes her buttocks (because there hadn't been enough fan
service by that point, I suppose > ).
According to the "Tenchi Muyo! Entertainment/Secret Pot" special
hosted by two of the VAs (an extra on the 3rd OAV), this is a fringe
benefit of the nanomachine-based "bio-reinforcement" that gives all
the XT characters enhanced strength, lifespan, etc. (Those who aren't
already enhanced by affiliation with Jyurai Royal Trees, anyway.)

There is a manga arc where the usual suspects
rescue a drop of water from K1's ear that contains
a summoning song ... and you could call the
water race mermaids.

Not sure about this one:
In the Nuku Nuku OVA, the episode at the beach: Papa-san comes up with a
swimming attachment for Nuku Nuku so she can swim without sinking.
Did that have a mermaid tail for her? It seems to ring a bell, but it's
been too long since I last watched that and my memory's hazy.

I remember a chapter/episode where Belldandy _flies_ out to rescue Keiichi.
This is the scenario at the beach, where Urd comes up the fake story about
the 'Three Sisters' rocks.
When Skuld tries to drown Keiichi, Bell flies out and rescues him, then
carries him out to the three rocks.
But she didn't have a fish tail; she just flew.
Don't remember any episodes with her having a fish tail or anything mermaid
like, but I gave up on the manga and TV series a while ago.

It had a horizontal dolphin type tail. Close enough, maybe.

I can recall Bell doing a rescue like that but not wil a tail. There was a
cover pic of her with a fish though.
Anyone remember Neptina from Marine Boy?
Oh, and ISTR one of the Dirty Pair OPs with a mermaid image in it.

My memory is coming up blank at the moment for more anime series with
mermaids, so I'll leave it to the rest of you to come up with more examples.

Marina in Ningyo Hime Marina no Boken wasn't mentioned yet, and
the list wouldn't be complete without Mei-Mah of K.O. Century Beast

There was a recent manga chapter where Keiichi meets a female mermaid
who's having problems finding a man for whatever reason. Belldandy is
not amused. (It's eventually revealed that mermen kind of suck in the
social department.)
