Bull Sharks are known to undertake seasonal migrations, often traveling long distances in search of food and suitable breeding grounds.
Female Bull Sharks give birth to 1 to 13 pups after a gestation period of about 10 to 11 months. The pups are born in shallow nursery areas, where they can find protection and abundant food.

Butterflyfish do not have specific migration patterns.
During reproduction, Butterflyfish engage in courtship behaviors, including displays of color and pattern changes.
Egg scatterer
Mostly sedentary, but may exhibit some migratory behavior
Protogynous hermaphrodite (female-to-male sex change)
No regular migration pattern
Female lays eggs, male fertilizes them externally
Females lay eggs on submerged plants or debris
Bandfish do not have well-documented migration patterns. They are typically found in the same general geographic area where they were born, but they may move within these areas in response to changes in environmental conditions or the availability of food.
During the breeding season, male Bandfish engage in courtship displays to attract females. These displays can involve swimming in circular patterns and producing vibrating sounds to communicate.
