What Parents Need to Know
About Rainbow Fish
Parents need to know that these fish can be whiny and smart-alecky. They tease one another, and there's a kind of supposedly good-natured mocking of the character who makes good grades that's exactly the kind of example kids don't need.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the lessons in friendship presented by the show. Why do you think the characters say what they do? How does that make their friends feel? Families might also want to go beyond the obvious lessons and talk about some of the issues the show ignores, like whether the way the friends tease each other is really kind, or the amount of under-the-sea junk food they eat. Or they could just give all that up and talk about why this show is so lame before choosing something else to watch.
