Thanks for the replies everyone, appreciate all the insight. I was able to capture a slightly better video at higher res when the fish weren't zooming around quite as much, although still fought with the autofocus. There are some decent shots here of the suspected female with the other 2 for comparison's sake. I also feel this shows the orange and blue coloring on the fins more clearly, so if orange vs yellow = female 🤞 A couple slightly better pictures as well: suspected female: the larger of the 2 males: What's interesting is up until today I would've described the dynamic in my tank the this way, the largest male doing the most chasing (only ocassional), the pale one trying to mind its own business and hunt in the floating plant roots, but the last couple of days the pale one has actually been chasing the other 2 a bit. It seems like its been mostly just after feeding, and stops after a few minutes, so maybe food related? I'll monitor it since it doesn't seem to be constant right now and no actual damage seems to be done. Thanks again everyone, will update as the fish matures/colors.

I picked up 3 gourami about a month ago and was told by the LFS they were Sunset Honey Gourami, 2 male and 1 female. I've done a bunch of research (including reviewing the other posts here on the same topic) and still can't confidently say the fish sold to me as a female, is actually a female (vs subdominant or wild type, etc...). Here is a picture of the fish in question, hard to see here as this picture isn't recent but "her" anal fin also has a bit of blue/black coming in next to the yellow. And a short video from today, be sure to enable HD otherwise its hard to see much of anything (sorry if focus/framing is bad) Thanks!
