Yes, that is a very nice male pearl...anything else, lol?
That's a pearl gourami and your tank is a good size for them. They are at the peaceful end of the gourami spectrum. That doesn't mean totally peaceful like cories as I found when one 'female' turned out to be a juvenile male and the dominant male chased the juvenile all over the tank till I rehomed him, but they don't bother the other fish in a tank unlike some of the more aggressive gourami species.

OK. I think I’ll order the Pearl Gourami. Thank ya’ll so much for your help.
I've actually seen them at Petco in the past....poor fish (shudders)
If you order more than one, make sure they will send you the gender of your choice not just a random fish taken out of the tank.

Yes, I have sent a message but thanks. Waiting fir response.
I think my favorite thing with these two is watching them prod each other with their little barbels
by the way, both females? Males? Male/female?

Don't mix Pearl Gouramis with Honey or Dwarf Gouramis. and remember Pearls can get to over 5" long. They are big fish.
Max length under 5" long, and that's usually in the wild...tank-breds don't get that big

I can’t find a male, just indexed. Don’t want a female. Dang!
I've had 5" pearl Gourami males. They can be rather bossy and at the same time they bruise easily so be careful of tank mates.Max length under 5" long, and that's usually in the wild...tank-breds don't get that big
