I've had this honey gourami for about 3 weeks. I'm just wondering if he's male or female? Struggling to tell with the information online.

Thanks in advance :)

Looks male IMO, the dorsal fin is more pointed, and females are usually more round, whereas males are more slender. However they do have a bit of a belly, but I’m leaning towards male

I did think he was a male. I just found his colour not as striking as some of the images online. But maybe that could just be because he's a young fish?
 
Young or perhaps stressed. I would still see others opinions, since I’m not SUPER experienced in sexing fish. That’s just what it looks like to me
 
It’s a Gold Honey Gourami, so it won’t get much more colour. I’d also say male.
