It’s a female! See how her dorsal fin is rounded at the end? Males have a longer, pointed Dorsal fin - I have attached a photo of a male for reference. Beautiful fish

It’s a male. Female dwarf gouramis are much less colorful. Unfortunately, they’re almost never found in shops, and most people have never even encountered them before. They’ll look for the slightest difference in fin length and pronounce the one with the shorter fins to be a female when in fact it’s a male.

It's a young male. Females, of all the colour varieties, don't have red stripes. It also has the classic male body shape.
