I:(looking over boat) Wow that is quite a big swordtail there!
S:Well you could call it that.
I:So what kind of fish are you?
S:I am a Xiphophorus helleri.
I:Wow! That is quite a confusing name.
S:It is, but you can just call me a swordtail fish
I:So, why do you have a sword tail? It it for hunting food?
S:I have it for no reasons. But it looks cool.
I:So anyway, where were you born?
S:Well, when I was born I lived in heavily vegetated rivers and I still live in those places today. I am native to north and central america. But It is quite wet. My mother reproduces in massive numbers, maybe 1000’s of us.
I:That is a lot of fish. Um, so what do you eat?
S:Well, I eat meat and vegetables Which means I’m an omnivore.
I:Cool, so if there are thousands of you, where are all the others?
S:Most of us are either eaten, somewhere else in the ocean, or in an aquarium. Since we are easy to take care of and mostly all we need is food and space. After all, males are quite aggressive toward other males.
I:Very interesting, Do you have any sort of weakness?
S:Hmm, not really. We really don’t have a weakness to easily get sick like other fish. But we still can get kinda sick.
I: Is there any other way that you die?
S:We die after we lay our many, many eggs.
I:Well, that's all I had in mind to ask you.
S:It was nice seeing you.
