Tropical Fish and Sea Plants Coloring Page

About this page

High on the page, a striped tropical fish swims toward the right with a sweeping dorsal fin, fan-shaped tail and a long trailing lower fin. Thin curved stripes wrap its body from front to back, and fine lines fill each fin. Beneath it, a stand of broad leafy sea plants with center veins rises in the middle, flanked by wavy ribbon seaweed on each side. At the bottom, a large spiral shell with wavy bands sits at the left and a ridged scallop-style shell rests at the right, with pebbles and small circles dotted between them. Bubbles of several sizes float around the fish. The shapes are large and the lines are clear, so this medium page suits adults who like gentle, uncluttered coloring.
