I have a male and female pear gourami and two blue gourami's the male pearl was always a bit of a bully chasing the others but nothing serious. However the last 3 days the female pearl gourami has had enough and has chased him into the corner of the tank behind some bogwood, where he literaly lay on his side and played dead. Now each time he pokes his head out she goes nuts and chases him back. This behaviour is mainly when the main lights are on, if the led's are on she is calmer. She is not agressive towards any other of the fish just the male pearl. I have noticed she is getting rather round instead of flat gourami shaped, I am wondering if she is laiden with eggs? Sometimes she is quite gentle with him stroking him with her long fins then she goes nuts at him!!

is this normal for a gourami?
