When we first brought this little guy home we thought it was a female from the shape of the dorsal fin (last picture). But now when I look at the dorsal fin I feel like it might be male? Can someone clarify for me if it’s female or male?
Dwaf Gourami female or male?

Usually females of the powder blue colouration lack the red trim on the fins.
If this is male, this is also a very bloated individual, watch out for signs of Dwarf Gourami Disease... theyre prone to dropsy

Thank you for your help! I have been watching him closely today but All his other behaviour seems to be fine. Today is the first day he’s been bloated so I will be keeping a close eye.
This is a female the male has a much more pointed dorsal fin, and is lighter in the body.
