Nursery fish
The nurseryfishes, also called
forehead brooders or incubator fish, are a family (Kurtidae) of fish
that are notable for carrying their egg clusters on hooks protruding
from the forehead (supraoccipital) of the males. The family consists of
just two species in the single genus Kurtus. In addition to the egg
hook, the kurtid gas bladder is enclosed in a tubular bony structure
evolved from the ribs. In both species the back is elevated into a hump
shape.
