      Hi there,

      Which fish? Depending on the fish species, it’s a different mechanism – mostly, females lay eggs that males fertilize later on. But then, some sharks have babies inside their belly…

      With the lights off….

      I think the female fish lays the eggs and then male comes along and fertilizes them so no actual contact between the two fish is needed, charming eh!
