laritheloud Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 At what age about can you reliably sex a honey gourami? Is this still too young to tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Aquatics Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I honestly can’t tell their sex until I see the male get the black throat and try to breed. Idk if there is another way to sec theM beforehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if there is another way to sec theM beforehand Dang. I got a 'pair' of honey gourami from my LFS (plus a baby from another one) annnnnnd I realized that instead of the pair I thought I had, they mistakenly gave me a honey gourami (definite female, I think) and a sunset thick-lipped juvenile. So now I'm in the position of "Do I keep my baby honey and my female sunset honey gourami and return the thick-lipped" or just keep them all... Nothing wrong with the sunset thick-lipped, it just wasn't what I set out to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laritheloud Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 So we are keeping our thick lipped “accident” and naming her Lady Marmalade. 🤣 two honeys and a thick lip. Should work, right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 I keep hoping it becomes more clear with each week but I just get more confused. I’m convinced I have two females now and I’m trying not to get my hopes too high for a pair! On the bright side, everyone is healthy and thriving 🤗 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
