Some fish have white bellies as a form of camouflage to blend in with the sunlight filtering down from the water's surface. This adaptation helps them avoid predators by making it harder for them to be seen from below. Additionally, a white belly can also help fish regulate their body temperature by reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption.

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.
