blue Gouramis

Hey guppy that's a female dwarf gourami, or possibly a colivated male, not a blue gourami.
 
Hi Guppy_molly_lover :)

That is a bit extreme for most gouramis. This is a picture of a typical female's fins:

And this is more like most males' fins:

If you are trying to tell the gender of your gourami, it might be easier to look at it from above. The male will be straighter and taper down from the head to the tail, while the female will clearly have a rounded bulge in the abdominal area,

Hi again Guppy_molly-lover  :)

Here's another link for you to look at.  The pearl gourami is a male and the gold is a female.  It is easy to see the fin difference here.

Hi Guppy_mollie_lover :D

If your fish is about 2 inches long, you are the proud owner of a male dwarf gourami! :thumbs:

This is the original dwarf gourami. They are great little fish! :nod:

P.S. Are you going to get some corys for your big tank? :unsure:
