The kissing fish under artificial breeding conditions can usually grow to 3-4cm in length, and some larger individuals can only grow to 5-6cm in length. However, the size of kissing fish growing in the wild environment is much larger, generally growing to 20-30 cm. Some of the larger individuals can even grow up to 33 cm long.
Generally, when breeding, the kissing fish can live for 6-7 years. If the breeding conditions are good, they can live for about 8 years. Compared with the general ornamental fish, they are relatively long-lived. In order to make them get longer, we need to pay attention to controlling the water temperature and quality of aquaculture water. The water temperature should be kept at about 26 C. The water quality should be clean enough and should not contain harmful substances.
From birth, it takes about 15 months for the kissing fish to grow before they can start to reproduce. At birth, their sexual organs are not fully developed, so they do not have the ability to reproduce. After 15 months of growth, their sexual organs mature, formally entering the sexual maturity period, they have the ability to reproduce and can reproduce. Their breeding cycle is not long, in a suitable breeding environment, they can breed many times in a year.
