That's a clear enough image.
Taking into account that stressed fish do lose their colour, I see no Thick-lipped Gourami striping.
I'd also be concerned about that pale colouration towards the tail of that particular fish.

There is a red variety of thick lipped gourami, which is the one sold as red honey gourami and red robin gourami. The body shape just looks wrong for a dwarf.
Look at the photos here

We need a close up of the mouth to be certain.

Alright I got floating plants what else should I get?
I would say with honey gourami’s (I guess in this case, till we all decide what kind of gourami this one is
) most any plant that provides them some cover would do. I have frogbit, Java moss, cyprenus helferi (a thin blade, longer grass, looks like a thin jungle valinarus), and rotala rotundifollia as the bulk of my plants with 3 honey gourami. They cruise around the whole tank if they feel comfortable, and the more coverage you have the more comfortable they feel.So what I’m saying is, get whatever plants you like, they will all help out.
And just for kicks, here’s a pic I tried to snap of my one of my honey gourami.

I've discovered that, at Pets at Home, the names of the fish are dictated by On High, but...
They are also obliged to know the scientific name of the fish they sell.
This could be one way of confirming the Gourami species you buy there.

Not a lot.
Lots of plants was the recommendation.
Creates security for the fish and also breaks the line of sight between potential squabblers.
Did you get any floating plants, other than that nice moss?
