In order to reproduce, this fish male will bite onto the female, he will never release, and her skin will grow over him, making him a sort of parasitic tumor for the rest of their lives. After her skin has grown over him, they will begin to share a blood stream, and by sharing that blood stream, the female will get the male's DNA for her eggs and reproduce.
