Best Answer

the white belly is just a form of camouflage. when swimming under water and you look up you will see light if its in the day time. so if you are under a shark when it swims by the white belly will help it blend in with the bright surface water. like wise when looking down the water gets dark so the shark is dark on the top of its body.

Do all fish have white bellies?

No. Depending where (the depth) the fish eats and hunts for food, his belly will blend with his surrounding, either ponds, oceans, lakes, and that determines how the sun shines through the water at what depths. All of these things, plus if he swims in large schools or not, help determine his markings and colorings. Oh, also mating season will come into play with some fish's markings being darker or brighter.
