Kissing fish, also known as kiss fish, kiss fish, gourami, kissing betta, kissfish, mahogany, climbing genus, native to Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Indonesia, Java and Borneo. In nature, the kissing fish can reach 30-40 cm in length, and the kissing fish that are reared in the aquarium are generally only 15--20 cm long, which is a relatively large species in the climbing school.
Kissing fish morphological characteristics Kissing fish oval, side flat, surface milky, slightly red, named peach fish. The snout has a pale flesh red, a black stripe on the head, a white belly, and a black stripe at the base of the caudal fin, but it is less obvious. According to information, some of the kissing fish are silver-gray or blue-green, and a few are white. The pectoral fins of the kissing fish are thick and large, and the pelvic fins are smaller. The dorsal and anal fins extend rearward to the base of the caudal fin, and the trailing edge of the caudal fin is slightly concave.
This fish has a special habit. Whether it is a female or a male fish, when the two fish meet, the two fish heads will kiss each other and become kissing fish. According to expert research and analysis, this kind of fish's kissing is not the opposite of the opposite sex. It is a kind of clash, sometimes up to several minutes, in order to compete for the territory. Generally 3 months old fish, there will be kissing. The raising of kissing fish requires that the individual who kisses the fish be large, and the raising tank should not be small. Kissing fish is easy to raise, no harsh water quality requirements, hi weak acidic soft water, suitable water temperature is 22-26 degrees Celsius. This fish is mild and can be mixed with other fish. Kissing fish like clusters of activities in various water layers, and can directly use the pleats to breathe air in the water.
Kissing fish food complex, do not choose to eat, bread worms, broken oysters, artificial feed can feed, fast growth, strong body, not easy to get sick. It also has a habit of constantly tapping the algae and moss on the water plants and on the wall of the aquarium, so that the plants are green and the walls are kept clean. It is the aquarium that is truly a “hygiene†and a clean aquarium. The box played a big role. When eating algae and moss in the bottom of the tank, they are often head-down, inverted, and very interesting.
It is more difficult to distinguish the male and female of the kissing fish from the male and female of the reproduction kissing fish, and it is necessary to observe carefully. In general, the male has a slender body and a slightly enlarged anal fin. The maternity color appears during the breeding period. The body color turns from flesh red to purple and it is shiny and shiny. The female body is wider than the male, the anal fin is smaller, and the abdomen of the female is obviously enlarged.
Kissing fish are oviparous fish, although it does not spit bubble nest, but the eggs are floating, the broodstock has the habit of swallowing eggs, so breeding tanks should be planted with some floating plants to facilitate the egg attachment. Kissing fish enters sexual maturity in the month of May and can multiply several times a year.
Kissing fish breeding is not difficult. Due to the large size of the kissing fish, breeding cylinders should not be too small. Reproduction water requires a hardness of 6-9, pH 6.5-7.5, and a suitable water temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. The broodstock can be quarantined into the propagation tank at a ratio of 1:1. At the same time, some distilled water can be mixed into the breeding tank to stimulate the estrus of the broodstock. After a chase, the broodstock began to ovulate and fertilize. The volume of kissing eggs is smaller than the volume of water, so it floats on the surface and the spawning process lasts for several hours. Each female can lay more than 1,000 eggs and some can reach 2000-3000. Kissing fish do not have the habit of protecting eggs. When the eggs are produced, the brooders should be fished out in a timely manner to prevent them from eating their eggs.
The larvae usually hatch after 36 hours of fertilization. The newly hatched larvae do not move. After two days, the larvae start to swim and feed. The open food should be fed with “drip water†and the fish can be fed one week later. . After 2 weeks, the larvae were screened and kept in separate cylinders. If you keep well, juveniles grow quickly and can be as descriptive as 30 days.
