Question

   There is a fish called the angelfish (神仙魚), which can change from female to male. No,it cannot do it by simply wishing to I become male. The change happens for a specific reason.

   The angelfish live in groups. And each group has one male fish,which is blue in color,and four female fish,which are yellow in color.

   The male angelfish is the strongest and largest member of the group. When the male dies,the largest female fish in the group begins to change its looks. She begins to grow larger in size. After a week,she starts changing colors,from yellow to blue. Slowly,she begins looking like a male. Two weeks later,black stripes (條紋) appear on her body. She is now really male.

   The angelfish are among the most brightly colored fish of the sea. People prefer to keep them because of the interesting patterns (圖案) on them. People like to keep them because of their good look. Often,the young ones are different in color from the old ones. At night their colors may change.
