[How to tell a Honey Gourami from other small Gourami species]

Hi @Tiffany.hankinson! The two fish in the top photo are sunset thicklipped gouramis (trichogaster labiosa). They both look female right now, but they might be too young to sex. Of the two, the one on the right is most likely to become a male as it grows, but it's not yet a guarantee. A male will develop an elongated, pointed dorsal fin and darken to a rusty/ruddy orange color, while a female will keep the rounded fins and marmalade-orange color.

Your bottom photo is a male gold-type honey gourami (trichogaster chuna). You might be able to get away with cohabitating them, but I would keep an eye out for bullying. He will stay smaller than the other two fish. The thicklips will grow to 3 to 4 inches.

Thank you so much for this!

Hello! I stumbled across this forum tonight whilst trying to get my head around the gourami confusion. Please would anyone be able to confirm what types of gourami I have? The first two were sold at the LFS as red honey gourami, and the yellow one on its own came with a tank I bought. I just want to check they're not different types so I don't unknowingly mix types. Many thanks in advance
