This bold shot shows a male eastern gobbleguts (yes, that’s the fish’s real name) carrying eggs in its mouth. This is a normal part of the gobbleguts’ reproductive process; the males hold the eggs in their mouths until the young gobbleguts are ready to hatch. This image was taken in Chowder Bay, off the coast of Sydney, Australia.
