by pooping on them
A male fish fertilises the eggs After they are released by the female, either by releasing sperm alongside her, as she drops the eggs, or by floating above the batch after the eggs have been dropped, and releasing the sperm into the water above them. There is no real contact between a breeding pair.

The male and female fish come together for spawning and as the female lays the eggs the male releases the sperm (milt) into the water beside the eggs.

What are the similarities of internal external fertilization?

Internal fertilization takes place inside the body of the female. It is necessary for animals which live on land (terrestrial animals) and is retained by aquatic animals descended form terrestrial ancestors eg whales and dolphins. External fertilization takes place outside the body of the female. It usually takes place in water, usually the environment in which the animal lives eg fish and amphibians. This is because eggs and sperm would dry out and die if they are not kept wet. Internal fertilization is more certain than external fertilization so fewer eggs need to be produced. After internal fertilization eggs can be protected and fed while developing inside the mother's body. After external fertilization the eggs are potentially exposed to predators and so must either be produced in very large numbers or protected by the parents or both.
