15 second clip of a Jawfish aerating the eggs he's incubating in his mouth. The first few seconds are shown at normal speed, then replayed at 25% speed. You need to be super fast on the trigger to get photos of it! 3rd day in a row we've seen him. Hopefully he will still have his eggs tomorrow! Taken at Lighthouse Point. #CanonR6 #Nauticam | Divetech

#DKY Jawfish are mouth-brooders. Our male pearly jawfish has a mouthful of eggs! He will keep them safe and well-oxygenated until they hatch in about a week. He can't eat with the eggs in his mouth, so he will starve until they hatch. Talk about a dedicated dad! | Key West Aquarium
