Looks like the sick gourami I was forced to adopt are going to pull through 
They are currently in hospital tank being medicated for finrot and possibly lots of other diseases. After a few days of resting motionlesss on the bottom they are now swimming actively and coming up to the top to feed sometimes. They are also becoming more aggressive and gold one seems to be nipping and bullying the other sometimes, though not too badly. They lived together for many years (I was told they are old fish) in a large tank but I guess being confined in much smaller hospital tank has brought out aggession. What species are they and how do I tell the sexes apart?
A - Orange gold in colour with 2 black spots, one in the middle of its body the other near its tail
B - Pearly white, no black spots
Both have tiny white dots like small pearls on their tails and fins and long sort of antennae trailing below their bodies. They are roughly the size and shape of adult convict cichlids about 4inches including tail
I know nothing about gourami as I never planned to keep any but since I now have these two i want to care for them properly. What do they eat and do they need any special care? Currently feeding them small amounts of Terta Pro tropical flakes and temperature around 26* If gourami recover fully can I keep them in my community tank with mollies swords platy guppies and angelfish?
