  • Description:In a captivating video shared by @waterpuppys on October 19, 2023, from the heart of South Korea in Seoul's Aqua garden cafe Lotte World Tower, Songpa-gu, an intriguing aquatic spectacle unfolded. The footage showcased two Kissing Gourami, scientifically known as temminkii, seemingly engaged in a tender kiss. However, the reality was far from a romantic embrace, as these fish were locked in what scientists refer to as "mouth fight." Despite the appearance of affection, the lip-locked interaction is now understood as a ritualized form of aggression, marked by the contraction of jaw muscles.
