Kissing Gourami (Helostoma temminckii)

Kissing Gourami (Helostoma temminckii) is an interesting, hardy and relatively large labyrinth fish, known for its distinctive “kissing” mouth movements. It can reach approximately 20-30 cm, so it is not suitable for small aquariums and requires a spacious tank with stable water conditions and plenty of room for swimming. Although it often appears peaceful, it can be persistent towards smaller or timid fish, making it best suited to living with peaceful but larger and robust species.
