About these easy fish coloring pages

The easy fish set concentrates on clear silhouettes, broad markings, and small scenes. One group leaves the fish alone on white paper, with plain round or oval bodies, a long profile, and a tall-finned angelfish. Another group introduces wide curved bands, a circular patch, or large oval markings. These patterns add separate colors without covering the body in small scales. Scene pages place fish beside a leafy plant, above a shell or stone, near a starfish or coral, and beneath a floating lily pad. The scenes remain spacious, although some striped fish have narrower fin sections that suit a sharpened pencil. Begin with an empty-bodied fish for the fewest printed divisions, then try a broad pattern or a small underwater setting. This page excludes the intricate reef studies found in the larger fish collection, so its choices stay focused on simpler fish coloring.

Coloring tips

  • Start an empty-bodied fish with one color and add a separate tail accent later.
  • Treat each broad patch as a large shape rather than adding rows of little scales.
  • For the striped angelfish, color the wide body bands before the narrow fin rays.
  • Keep bubble highlights pale so they stay distinct from a colored background.

Choose an easy fish with blank fins or one large patch

Plan a two-color fish with one strong marking

What you need

Fish with circular side patch page · Two colored pencils · Scrap paper

  1. Test two colors side by side on scrap paper and choose which should stand out as the circular marking.
  2. Color the large side patch with the stronger color. Use the quieter color for the surrounding body and decide separately whether the fins should stay pale.
  3. Draw two swatches in the page margin to record your choices, then check that the patch remains distinct when you look at the whole fish.

Another way to try it: On the plain angelfish, keep the body in one color and move the accent to the tail or a fin instead of adding a new printed marking.

What you will find

Empty bodies for broad strokes

Plain oval, deep-bodied, long, and tall-finned fish have large centers without scales or body patterns.

  • A round left-facing fish has a sweeping forked tail, a pointed dorsal fin, a large side fin and a small smiling face on a plain white background.
  • A smooth oval fish faces right with a broad unsegmented tail, rounded fins, simple gill curves and a small open mouth against a white background.
  • A deep-bodied fish faces left with broad empty fins, a large side fin and a flared tail, leaving its smooth body free of patterns.
  • A long smooth-bodied fish faces right on a white background, with a broad forked tail, short fins, a small eye and simple gill curves.
  • A happy round fish faces right with a large fan tail, a curved dorsal fin and a broad side fin on an empty white background.
  • A right-facing angelfish has a plain body, tall swept upper and lower fins, a broad tail and a small round eye on a white background.

Big markings instead of small scales

A wide body band, broad curved stripes, a circular side patch, and oval patches create easy places for contrasting colors.

  • A smiling round fish faces left with a wide curved body band, a fan tail and broad fins against a plain white background.
  • A cheerful round fish faces right with wide curved body stripes and rounded fins, leaving large open spaces to color.
  • A left-facing round fish has a large circular patch on its side, an open mouth, a broad flared tail and separate rounded fins.
  • A happy oval fish faces right with large oval body patches, a scalloped dorsal fin, a fan-shaped tail and broad lower fins.

One small setting at a time

Plants, a shell, a stone, bubbles, and coral give the fish a little context without building a crowded reef.

  • A round fish with flowing tail lobes swims beside a leafy water plant rooted among smooth stones, with bubbles above its face.
  • A broad striped tropical fish faces right above a fan-shaped shell, with separate fins and a flared tail.
  • A plain-bodied fish faces left above a wide oval stone, with a large divided fan tail and gently curved fins.
  • A long plain-bodied fish tilts upward toward bubbles, with a forked tail and broad separate fins.
  • A plain-bodied pond fish with short mouth barbels swims diagonally beneath a broad lily pad, with bubbles beside its head.
  • A cheerful striped fish faces right above a short rounded branching coral, with broad fins and an open smiling mouth.
