Mother's Mouth Is Both Nursery & Sanctuary

San Francisco, June 3.

The San Francisco aquarium is calling the attention of visitors to its female Egyptian_mouth-breeding fish, whose mouth, now is full of eggs being hatched.

William B. Richardson, tropical fish expert at the California Academy of Science, explained that the fish picks up her eggs after they have fortilized and holds them in her mouth until they hatch.

During the 15-day incubation period, the little fish refuses all food, After the young are hatched, the mother carries them in her mouth. They venture out occasionally, but when danger threatens they quickly swim back into their mother's mouth-until they get too big.—United Press,
