Watch these fish lay their eggs on this video on the Ocean's IQ page:


A huge thanks to my dive partner Dr. Jamie Seymour, a world renouned venom biologist at James Cook University. He's a top notch guy who helped me open my eyes to the wonders of the ocean.


Also, the beautiful footage was taken by "Shark Dude" Richard Fitzpatrick. Richard is the man. more on him later.
