Paternal mouthbrooders include the arowana, the mouthbrooding betta Betta pugnax, and sea catfish such as Ariopsis felis. Among cichlids, paternal mouthbrooding is relatively rare, but is found among some of the tilapiines, most notably the black-chin tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron.

Mouthbrooding fish are intriguing, as they are eminent for their ability to care for and protect their offspring from harm in a very unusual way. These species of fish shield their young by using their mouths as a protective shelter. This unique kind of nurturing care begins at the time the eggs are fertilized.
