No, they come out of a small tube under their body close to the tail fin called the ovipositor. There are, however, some fish commonly called "mouth brooders" that will either scoop up the eggs into their mouths and keep them there until they hatch or will keep the fry (baby fish) in their mouths until they're large enough to stand a better chance of surviving.
