Almost all fish lay eggs. Fertilisation takes place outside the mother's body, and the eggs are generally left alone by the adult fish after that.... among this group are salmon, goldfish, cichlids, tuna, and eels. Some other fish retain the eggs inside the mother. The developing eggs are fed from the yolk, and not from the mother as in mammals. The mothers then give birth to live young..... horn sharks and skates. There are some few species which have a set-up such as mammals with the mother directly supplying nutrients to the young.... guppies, angel sharks, and coelacanths.
