Are honey gouramis aggressive

[DoubleDutch]

True. But sometimes the detail doesn't really matter. The end result is what is important.

When the dwarfs not appear to be dwarfs, couldn't the tank as an end result get overstocked when someone adds gouramis ?

Who Knows, to many things to think about.

There dwarf corydoras I got them from petco. They said they were albino.

This is a dwarf corydorus, Corydoras hastatus, (image from Wiki);

This is a pygmy corydoras, Corydoras pygmaeus, of which I have a happy group of nine;

Neither come in albino flavour...as far as anyone I know knows.

To answer the original question, they can be, especially the males when they're squabbling over females and the males can even harass the ladies, especially if there's only one. This is why the ideal Dwarf/Honey purchase is for a male and two ladies.

As itiwhetu pointed out earlier, honey gouramis (as in the thread title) and dwarf gouramis (as mentioned in post #1) are not the same species. The problem is that many shops label honey gouramis as "honey dwarf gouramis" which leads to confusion.

And red honeys which are actually T.labiosa

I forgot to mention that

Many shops do sell "red honey gouramis" which, as DoubleDutch said, are not actually honey gouramis.

Then what is it? That’s what the store said

 

[Ravenes]

I’m sorry as well I apologize

Probably just a standard albino Cory.
This is one of my Pygmys, next to a stuffed Glowlight Tetra, for size comparison.

No need...you weren't to know that you were served by an idiot.

All that said, there are albino Pygmy Corydoras, but they are quite rare, as far as I've been able to find out.
I could even be wrong about your own fish, so a better photo would be helpful and if you could throw a measurement at me...
