About these fish coloring pages

Aquarium pets and ocean dwellers swim side by side in these fish coloring pages: a goldfish, a betta, a puffed-up pufferfish, a clownfish in its anemone, koi in a garden pond and a school of reef fish. Each easy page holds one big fish for ages 3 to 5. Aquarium plants or an anemone round out the medium pages for ages 6 to 8, hard pages for ages 9 and up are full pond and reef scenes, and the expert pages turn fins and scales into fine pattern work.

Fish pages pair nicely with a classroom aquarium or a trip to a pet store, since kids can compare real fins and tails with the drawings. To make scales shimmer, color each one with two shades, the darker along its curved edge, and leave a tiny white spot for shine.

Fish facts to share

  1. Fish breathe by passing water over their gills, which take oxygen out of the water.
  2. A seahorse is a type of fish, and seahorse fathers carry the eggs in a pouch until they hatch.
  3. Pufferfish puff up by quickly gulping water, which makes them hard for predators to swallow.

Color idea: Try bright orange with white bands for the clownfish, gold and red patches for koi, and soft green water plants to tie each page together.

Fish coloring page questions

Which fish page is best for beginners?

The round goldfish is the easiest, with one big fish, large scales and only a couple of bubbles around it. The pufferfish is another simple choice. Both suit preschoolers using chunky crayons or washable markers.

What colors are koi fish?

Koi are bred in many colors, including white, orange, red, black, yellow and blue-gray, often in bold patches. Kids can make each koi on the pond page different, which is a fun way to practice planning a color pattern.

Why does the clownfish live in an anemone?

Clownfish and sea anemones help each other. A slimy coating protects the clownfish from the anemone's stinging tentacles, so it can hide there from predators, and in return it chases away some intruders and leaves food scraps that help feed the anemone.
