Could someone tell me if my opaline gourami is male or female please??

I have two gouramis which have identical dorsal fins so I have no idea if they are male or female. They are quite territorial - and the darker one will often chase the lighter one to the back of the tank whenever it comes out. But then other times they are quite happy to swim around together and be friends. ??

Anyways here is the pic...(hope this works)

I would say female (assuming it is fully grown). Can you get a picture of the other one as well?
 
Thanks - here are some more photos ...

they're not great photos but this one's always hiding....

Last night they were doing that head-to-tail circle dancing that someone else mentioned here before. Their colours changed and were very dark and it was quite a sight - but I'm not sure if that was an aggressive display or not.
