One Fish, Two Fish…
August 26, 2021
What better way to go back-to-school than at an aquarium? Here at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, we have two huge aquariums to choose from, with schools of fish to make any Dr. Seuss fan happy!
Here’s our version of the familiar classic. Read, then come and meet all the characters in real life, at the Pacific Seas Aquarium and South Pacific Aquarium!
One fish, Two fish


Red fish, Blue fish

Red soldier fish.

Pink-and-blue fish…

Old fish, New fish.

Rockfish can live over 100 years.

This one’s long and lean and green,

This one keeps the aquarium clean.

So many fish here to be seen!
Some are orange, some are brown,
Garibaldi fish.
Brown rockfish.

Garibaldi fish.

Brown rockfish.
This one looks just like a clown!
Some are angels, some are not –

Clarion angelfish.

This one has a leopard spot!

This one’s lips are big and fat,

This one swoops just like a bat.

Yes, some are yellow, some are red…
Some even have a hammerhead!

Why are they yellow, pink and red?
To blend in with their coral bed!
Some have barbs…but all have fins,
Nurse sharks. (Sharks are cartilaginous fish.)
Stingray. (Yes, they are fish too!)

Stingray. (Yes, they are fish too!)
Some have very toothy grins.

Some are thin and some are fat,


Puffer fish.
Some have whiskers like a cat!

From reef shark here to rockfish there,
Funny fish are everywhere.
