i don’t really know much, but i do have a book with a little information. it says they bear thousands of eggs, but it is hard to raise the fry. they don’t build bubble nests like their close relatives. here is a site that may have a bit more information:

Breeding: Potential breeders should be conditioned with live foods, and provided with a large tank with soft warm water (80 F). Unlike other Labyrinth fish, Kissers do not build elaborate bubble nests, although the male may blow bubbles randomly at the surface.

Spawning begins by circling, progressing to nudging and dancing, followed by intense beating of tails, and finally kissing. Eventually the male wraps his body around the female, turning her upside down. The female will release hundreds or even thousands of eggs, which are fertilized by the male as they rise to the surface.

If floating plants or lettuce are placed on the surface before spawning, the eggs will adhere to them and the fry can feast upon infusoria that grows on the vegetation. The parent fish should be removed following spawning, as they may eat their own young.

Eggs will hatch in approximately one day, and in another two days the fry will be free swimming. They can be fed very fine flake foods or small live foods such as freshly hatched brine shrimp.

Here’s some helpful links for you: (Keep in mind most aquarists say this specific gourami is quite a bit harder to breed than other gouramis)
