Kissing Gourami

Kissing Gourami, the name conjures up images of romance, doesn't it? Kissing each other so passionately, they look as of they are madly in love. Unfortunately the lip-locked lovers are not in love - they are actually fighting.

Unable to hold a sword to defend their territory, Kissing Gouramis must battle with their mouths instead. The one with the most powerful lips wins out. Gives a whole new meaning to the saying "kiss and make up", doesn't it?
