Fish that rears its young in the mouth
A chromis paterfamilias incubates about 200 young in its mouth and gills. The male, not the female, performs incubation by inhaling eggs, then releasing them into the gill leaflets. The young develop within the mouth and gills, later leaving to live independently, while the male protects them in a vast buccal cavity. Popular Selene Donthly for July.
