Striped and spotted fish in a coral reef – free coloring page to print · Doodleur

A black and white coloring page featuring several tropical fish with stripes and spots swimming above a coral reef. The seabed is decorated with corals, tall sea grass, and mushroom-like sea plants while small air bubbles rise toward the surface.

Coloring tips

Try using bright yellow and orange for the striped fish, and maybe some pink or purple for the spotted ones to make them stand out.
The medium level of detail with many distinct shapes is perfect for children aged 6–9 to practice staying within the lines.
Color the large mushroom shapes first with a solid shade, then use a darker pencil to add depth to the gills underneath.
