Outrunmygun1 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Hi all I just got these 2 from an LFS yesterday and was wondering what type/ sex they are. thank you! Edited August 25 by Outrunmygun1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnebuns Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Those are actually not honey gourami but thick lipped gourami. Stores often label them as "red honey gourami" but they are a seperate species from a honey. It does look like you have a male and a female. You can tell by the dorsal fin. Males have a pointed dorsal and females rounded. Here's my 2 thick lipped gourami. Here's Fred with the pointed dorsal. And Sally with the rounded dorsal I have entire back stories for them. You don't wanna know lol Edited August 25 by Cinnebuns 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very peaceful fish but yes that does make things even more peaceful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
