That last one is a zebra danio I believe. It is a temperate fish, not tropical, needs to be kept in groups of 6+, and ideally a 4 ft tank as they are very active :) Sorry not good at sexing fish! 
 
1. Male honey gourami.
2. Female (?) dwarf gourami.
 
Not too sure on the 3rd. The male still might get aggressive with the female.
 
The zebra danio if thats it is in a 190L tank who zooms around with all my other fish. It does sometimes chase one or 2 of the other fish.
 
Also can those gourami breed or no?
 
Two completely different species. The female is susceptible to DGD so watch out for any sickness in the next few months.
 
Ok cause I wanted to breed Gouramis but I guess not xD I had another gouramis that came with the tank but it passed away im thinking it got stressed out from the move :(
 
You should get... 2 female honies. :) They have a dark line from head to tail instead of a dark chest like yours has though some have no line or very little gold at all, as well may be harder to find.
 
1. Male Honey Gourami - Colisa chuna
2. Either a Male Royal Blue Dwarf Gourami or a Female Dwarf Gourami - Colisa lalia
3. Giant Danio - Devario aequipinnatus.
 
Honey Gourami's are peaceful and that male is showing breeding colouration as is indicated by the black chin and breast.
Dwarf Gourami's can be territorial and are susceptible to Dwarf Gourami Disease(DGD) or the Iridovirus.
Giant Danio's get to 4in(10cm) and need groups of 6+ so need a 4ft tank minimum. Not sure what the measurements are for your 190l tank.
 
3. It's a giant glofish that has not been genetically modified yet.

They are not called Glofish until they are actual Glofish(AKA after they've been genetically modified) so no, it's a Giant Danio :)

Yes, I have. The name Glofish comes from the fact that the GM Danio's "Glow"... Hence "Glofish", they are just regular Danio's before they are GM'd :)
 
It's only Zebra Danio's that are GM'd anyway so it wouldn't be a Glofish at all.
