Kissing Gourami

You will receive the fish at approximately 10-15cm size

The Kissing Gourami (Helostoma temminckii) is a popular freshwater fish known for its "kissing" behavior, which is a form of social interaction or territory assertion rather than affection. Native to Southeast Asia, they grow up to 12 inches or 30cm and have pink or silvery-green bodies with a metallic sheen.
