Kissing fish (definite introduction)
As the name suggests, kissing fish can "kiss", so people gave them this interesting name. Kissing is a kind of emotional exchange for humans, but for fish, what is the purpose of kissing?
Kissing fish is a kind of hot fish. Their homeland is in the islands of Java and Borneo in Southeast Asia. Local residents love kissing fish very much and often eat them. They are kept in a fish tank and watch their "kissing" performance. Since then, kissing fish has become a world-famous tourist fish, and its market price has soared, with each fish selling for about US$100.
The body of the kissing fish is oval, with a side tilt, a large head, a large mouth, and large pectoral fins; the body color is milky white with a hint of red, and the lips and eye masks are red. There are also some kissing fish that are silver-gray or blue-green, and a small number of kissing fish are white. Under natural conditions, the body length of kissing fish can reach 30 cm; if kept in an aquarium, it generally only grows to about 15 cm. Kissing fish has both tourist value and edible value, and is a fish with extremely high economic value. It is a pity that its production is not high. In addition, the price of live fish is high and the price in the natural market is not low, so there is not much to enjoy.
Compared with other tropical fish, kissing fish do not have bright and attractive colors, but they are still favored by tropical fish enthusiasts. This is because kissing fish not only have the unique skill of "kissing", but their swimming skills are also very good. They can roll and jump in the water, just like the outstanding gymnasts who perform somersaults so brilliantly that they are applauded.
If you want to see the spectacular sight of their "kissing", then you can wait patiently by the aquarium with kissing fish and you will be amazed. . When two kissing fish meet, they will extend their long, jagged lips in unison and touch each other vigorously, just like a "hot kiss" between lovers, and they will never leave each other. However, this "passionate kiss" is not "courtship" but a fight. Because kissing fish have the habit of defending their "territory", when the two meet, they will not give in to each other, so they have to resort to force and fight with their long lips to resolve the "territory" dispute, until one dayFang was afraid to give in, and the "kissing" was terminated.
What’s interesting is that the 2-month-old young kissing fish already have a “kissing” behavior, which proves the kissing fish’s custom of defending their “territory” It is present at birth, probably due to genetics.
