Bicolor dottyback Coloring Pages

Its body with 2 colors looks so stylish!

The Bicolor dottyback is a very stylish tropical fish whose body color is clearly divided into 2 colors, front and back. With its beautiful colors and cute look as it peeks out from between rocks, it is very popular at aquariums.

What do the patterns on its body look like?

Just like its name says, the Bicolor dottyback has 2 colors on its body.

• Front half of the body: It is bright purple or pink. This is the part from its head to its belly.
• Back half of the body: It is bright yellow or orange. This is the part toward its back fin and tail fin.
• The line between these 2 colors is super sharp, just like it was drawn with a pen. That is its biggest feature!

Where does it live?

The Bicolor dottyback lives in coral reefs in the warm Indian and Pacific Oceans.

• It likes places with lots of hiding spots, like gaps in the coral and behind rocks.
• It is a fish that cares a lot about its home, so it tries hard to protect its own space.

What does it eat?

The Bicolor dottyback mostly eats small creatures like tiny shrimp and crabs.

• It is a great hunter at finding small creatures hidden in the gaps of coral reef rocks.

How long does it live?

In the wild ocean, the Bicolor dottyback is said to live for about 5 to 10 years. It lives for a long time in the coral reefs, where there are plenty of places to hide.

How to Choose Colors: Enjoy the Two-Color Contrast!

The coolest thing about the Bicolor dottyback is its two bold colors.

• Front Half of the Body: Try coloring this main part bright purple or pink. If you mix in a little blue, you will get a lovely, deep purple!
• Back Half of the Body: Color this part with bright yellow or orange. Mixing yellow and orange makes it look like light is shining on it.
• The Border Line: The trick is to draw the line between the two colors clearly. If you draw the line with a slightly darker color, its unique look will pop even more!

How to Make It Look 3D: Think About "Light" and "Shadow"!

The body of a Bicolor dottyback is nice and round. Think about "light" and "shadow" to show this shape!

• Shadowy Spots: Color the bottom of the body and the bases of the fins with a slightly darker color. This makes your fish look 3D!
• Sunlit Spots: Leave a bright color on the rounded back. This makes it look like it is glowing underwater!
