General rule of thumb for Gourami's. Males have pointed top and lower fins, female are rounded. Good luck

 

[amy1994]

Females:
Usually larger and plumper, short rounded dorsal fin
Males:
Long pointed dorsal fin, smaller and more slim

My male has the point to his top fin. My females don't and they have a more rounded belly.

If you are getting wild coloured honeys, males are tan, females are silver beige. Though in the shop tank, they'll be quite stressed and the males will be pale. Look for the fish with the most colour (male) and the two with the least, especially if they also have a brown stripe from nose to tail (female).
With the yellow colour morph, females often have a stripe, but those without one could be male or female.
Red colour morph, I can never tell the difference
