Help! Are My Honey Gouramis Male And/or Female?

Hmm, I'm not sure but I I would hazard a guess at them both being female? That is just a guess.

If you look at my honey in profile pic, that is a male, then my signature below has a female. See the grey line running from her eye to tail fin? The males have orange towards the tail but yours are different colours.

Thanks for your help!!
 
Here is a video of them both is that helps? - http://youtu.be/IwYyBly-LBc
 
Hmmm the one trailing out in front from 1 minute on the video I would say is a female (this is going from my honeys colouration) as you can see a faint grey line from here eye running straight across her midline to her tail fin.

The way the second is following her I would think potentially a male?? But his is a guess. IF its a male, his colours may become a little more vibrant as he matures....

Again, IF the second is a male, you may want to get another one or two females to even out the harassment.

Maybe some others may chime in also with their opinions.

Lovely looking fish :D

Thanks for your help and examples. As I've only had them for a couple of days they may still be stressed which is causing them to hide their true colours. I'll take another snap once they've properly settled in.
