EDITORS COMMENTS
Love is in the Water! These two male Kissing Gouramis are taking their friendly competition to a whole new level. With characteristic mouth-to-mouth pushing, they're giving each other a run for their money in the underwater arena. But don't worry, this smooching showdown isn't fatal - it's all just fishy fun! However, let's not forget that even in the aquatic world, bullying can have serious consequences. In the close quarters of an aquarium, constant harassment can stress out our finned friends to the point of no return. So while these gouramis may be enjoying their playful rivalry, let's make sure we create a peaceful and stress-free environment for all our underwater pals. This digitally manipulated photo captures a heartwarming moment between these kissing buddies. It reminds us that love knows no boundaries - not even among fishes! As Valentine's Day approaches, let's celebrate love in all its forms and remember to spread kindness wherever we go. So whether you're swimming solo or with your own aquatic companion this season, take inspiration from these charming gouramis and share some extra kisses with your loved ones. After all, who says only humans get to enjoy Valentine's Day? Dive into love and friendship with our delightful underwater duo!
