More about Kissing prochilodus

The Kissing Prochilodus is a freshwater fish notable for its striking appearance, characterized by a primarily silver body complemented with hints of pink and green iridescence, especially around the gill area. It originates from South American rivers, thriving in the Amazon Basin. The fish has a noteworthy feature; its mouth appears to be puckered, similar to the more commonly known Kissing Gourami, but it belongs to a different family. Though not as famous in the aquarium hobby as some other species, its unique appearance and relatively peaceful demeanor make it a compelling choice for hobbyists looking for something less common. Its size and the need for a sizeable aquarium may limit its popularity among enthusiasts with smaller setups.
