macdaddy36 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Does anyone have any tips on sexing Gold Honey Gouramis? Fin Shape, Color, Patterns, etc.? I want to get 1 male and 1 female for my 20 high planted community tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I'm not sure if it is a help without having a side by side comparison, but this is what I'm finding. Quote Females have a rounded belly compared to the males. However, the dorsal (top) fin is the most distinctive difference that can be seen between males and females. The dorsal fin of the female is short and rounded, while the male has a longer dorsal fin that comes to a point. Quote Males have a very pointy dorsal fin; it ends in a sharp point. Females, however, have a very noticeably rounded end to their dorsal fins. Quote Female Honey Gouramis are rather grey or brown with a dark stripe from tail to nose. The part about rounded fins is correct, but female Honeys have little color in the unpaired fins. The Golden form of Honey Gourami does not show the stripe, and is a pale golden yellow. She still has the rounded fins. Edited July 6, 2022 by nabokovfan87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
