Fish do not perform sexual intercourse like other animals do, and consequently do not "get pregnant." Instead, during the time when breeding season occurs (which is initiated by changes in temperature, seasonal change, changes in daylight time, etc.), the females will lay their eggs in a secluded spot, and the chosen male that has gained the right to mate with the female will pass over the eggs and excrete sperm over those eggs.

In fish species where females are capable of getting pregnant (such as sharks and rays), males and females mate the same way birds do, with the "cloaca kiss" where the female and male's cloaca briefly meet so that the male can ejaculate sperm into the female.
