Three spot gourami toward each other. The three spot gourami is an omnivore and requires both algae-based and meaty foods. An algae-based flake food, along with freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex worms, and brine shrimp provide these fish with the proper nutrition. Live foods such as mosquito larvae and daphnia are also beneficial. Differentiating between the male and female three spot gourami is by the dorsal fin. In the male, the dorsal fin is long and pointed and the anal fin is pointed, while the female's are shorter and rounded. However, some females may have a dorsal fin as long as the male's. When ready
Kissing gourami By increasing the angle of opening of the jaw, this joint allows kissing gourami to access to these nutrients. "H. temminkii", however, is the only species known that uses this articulation in this way. The intramandibular joint divides the jaw into two independent elements so that it increases the degrees of freedom and the potential number of ways of getting food. This articulation, although its mechanism and anatomy are still being studied in a hurry, results in an adaptation of Helodoma temminkii and its feeding. Shallow, slow-moving, and thickly vegetated backwaters are the kissing gourami's natural habitat. They are midwater
