What do kissing fish eat?

"Kissing fish" is a common name for the Chinese kissing gourami (scientific name: Helostoma temminckii). They are not actually kissing, but rather using their protruding lips to wrestle for territory and mates.

These fish are omnivores and eat a variety of foods, including:

* Algae: They are known to graze on algae in their tank.

* Small invertebrates: They will happily eat things like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia.

* Flakes and pellets: They can be fed commercially available fish food in the form of flakes or pellets.

* Vegetables: They enjoy vegetables like spinach, zucchini, and peas.

It's important to provide a balanced diet for your kissing gourami, consisting of a mix of these food options. You can also offer them live food occasionally for variety.
