medium


Choose rainbowfish close-ups, groups among water plants, or views above and below a lake or waterfall pool. The close-up leaves more open background, while root tunnels and planted scenes add fine details. Print a page, count the fish and invent a color pattern for their scales.

The purple stripe should read as one continuous path through the scales. You do not need to add rainbow bands.
