Do you have any neosporin/polysporin triple antibiotic ointment? Put that on cover it(loosely) with a band-aid and let it work overnight. The pressure will most likely be down in the morning.
Yes the males carry the eggs till they hatch in a pouch in their bellies. One of the few animals that the male carries the babies or eggs. There are mouthbrooder types of fish like this also, the male carries the eggs in it's mouth till the babies hatch. Then the babies stay in the males mouth for several weeks after hatching. they come out & feed but when anything threatening comes by the babies all rush back inside the safety of daddyo's mouth.
Still it's the female that produces the eggs in all cases.
And some fish can be like pets. I have 2 15inch S. American catfish that eat out of my hand & come up to my hand to let me pet them & rub their bellies. If you've ever had an Oscar cichlid, then you would know that fish can have quite a bit of personality too! These fish will actually pout and lay on the bottom of the tank.
