Why do you want to be sure it's a female before you add it to the male's tank? Adding it and then observing behavior is also a good indicator of sexes (with some gourami species it's the best/only way).

You might want to put them on opposite sides of a transparent barrier, e.g. divider, 2 tanks flush against each other, a floating receptacle in the male's tank, etc, rather than adding it straight away. She does not appear gravid in the photo, and you haven't mentioned whether the male has constructed a nest yet or not. The whole process will go much smoother if both conditions already exist.

Good luck with them.Ā
