The one with more vivid colur is chasing the smaller paler one. Can't decide whether two females or one female and a one male. Anyway, it seems that the more vivid one is always making sure that the other stays at the back of the tank. No biting though, only chasing.
Female honey gourami chasing the new male?

In my experience, the fish with a dark line down the side are usually females. The males of this colour morph usually have orange tails rather than yellow.
The fish facing left in the photos is what I always saw with females. The fish facing right has a less pronounced stripe so is either a female or a slightly stressed male. I could never tell by the fin shape in this colour morph.
I usually kept mine as a male/female pair. Once I tried a 1m 2f trio and one female always picked on the other.
