I purchased this piece with the thought that I would paint each the fish a different shade of blue, but still haven't gotten around to it. I hung it up on the wall anyways, and it still looks great. The position of the hook on the backside means the piece hangs naturally at an angle (with fish swimming upstream), so that's something to be aware of when hanging. I'm very happy with this purchase.   

Cons: Some of the edges of the fish were bent in shipping, but easy enough to bend back
