Tropes Associated With The Show:
- Babysitting Episode: "Quiet/Loud" has Red and Blue take on a job babysitting little fish.
- Beach Episode: "Build/Destroy" has Red Fish and Blue Fish compete in a sandcastle-making contest on the beach against some mean starfish.
- Christmas Episode: "Awake/Asleep" has Red Fish and Blue Fish attempt to stay up on Christmas Eve to see Santa Fish.
- Denser and Wackier: This series places a great emphasis on absurd, over-the-top comedy.
- Edutainment Show: The show educates kids on opposite concepts.
- Goo Goo Getup: "Pick Up/Drop" combines this trope with Toy Disguise; Red Fish and Blue Fish are in a toy store, and are being pursued by Octopus, who wants their Super Dolphin action figure. Red Fish and Blue Fish come to an aisle filled with many red and blue-colored baby fish dolls, so they disguise themselves as the dolls to avoid being spotted by Octopus.
- Halloween Episode: "Loose/Tight" has Red Fish and Blue Fish trying on Halloween costumes that are either too tight or too loose.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each episode title follows the format of "(word)/(opposite word)".
- No-Dialogue Episode: The series is an interesting take on this. Every episode has the characters just say typical grunts, sounds, and expressions. However, there's also a narrator who explains some of the actions that happen onscreen.
- Two Shorts: Each episode is made up of 3-4 7-minute segments.
- Wingding Eyes: Blue Fish's eyes become hearts when seeing a cute baby.
