You will mistake the scene you are seeing as a 'hunt'.

Mouth swings are behaviors that occur mainly in fish species. With this method, the male or female (depending on the species) will receive the task of incubating the eggs and even after the fry have hatched, the mouth of the parents still acts as the nest, for several months Early life, until they are 'tough' to fully adapt to life outside. In a more understandable way, the mouths of fish that possess this behavior are similar to the bag in Kangaroo.

Although it looks very bizarre, it is indeed an effective method of protecting the fry, especially in the case where the herd has a number of tens or hundreds.
