Like most other fish they suck oxygen rich water through their mouth and force it out of their gills located on their head and the oxygen is absorbed through the gills hope it was a good enough answer.

I have a 75-gallon aquarium with six Gourami. these are known as labyrinth fish. This type of fish not only receive oxygen from the water but can also receive oxygen from the atmosphere. This is why you see them rising to the surface receiving a gulp of air.

Water has oxygen dissolved in it. It gets this oxygen from plants, agitation, air stones, air to surface transfer, etc.. Fish require oxygen to live.
