Yes they do but they also eat animals (insects) because they are omnivores not herbivores.

What do kissing fish eat?
Kissing fish or kissing gourami, typically eat benthic algae and aquatic plants, they will also eat insects taken from water's surface. Kissing fish also filter plankton from the water and scrape the algae from stones. Cooked lettuce is a good alternative for kissing fish kept in an aquarium and any kind of live food.

Would 2 kissing gouramis a group of Cory fish and a female betta all go together in a 10 gal tank?
Would be pressing the limits, some fighting could occur if territories overlap or lack of housing, but might be workable if properly filtered, aerated and maintained. A higher bio load could mean more frequent water changes.
How do you eat when kissing?
you don't
If you have 2 gouramus in a 5 gallon tank how do you get your gouramis to stop fighting?
Gouramis aren't really great fish to have together unless they have room to move around (e.g. at least 5 gallons per fish). Your tank is MUCH too small to have two gouramis, they're fighting for territory. If you don't want to return one to the fish store, then you should definitly just get a bigger tank. Unless you have dwarf gouramis, you should have them in at least 20 gallons. It also depends on what kind of gouramis you have. Some are more social and are more likely to school (dwarf gouramis, pearl gouramis) whereas others prefer to be top dog (opaline gouramis, blue gouramis). Good luck!
How do you tell gender of a white gouramis kissing fish?
There is no easy way to determine the gender of the kissing gourami (helostoma temminckii), since there is no apparent sexual dimorphism. I suggest that you wait until they reach adulthood; the one that lays the eggs (ova) will be the female, and the one that is doing the wrap around will be the male.
Will three spotted gourami eat smaller fish?
