Best Answer

Yes.

They are viviparous fish, or livebearers.

Many fish lay eggs (they are oviparous species), and their young hatch from these, but some fish (viviparous species) produce babies (fry) that have already developed inside the mother's body. There are examples among the guppies and swordtails.

Male seahorses accept eggs from females and incubate them in a brood pouch.

Female lays the eggs in a shallow water sort of place then the male of the same species comes and fertilize them well this sort of depends on what species of fish we are talking about
