Red Dwarft Fire Gourami

Hi there I'm not sure if I've got male or female fish ( red dwraft fire gourami ) in my 90 l fish tank. Can anyone tell me how to recognise them?

If the fish is a dwarf gourami, if it's coloured it's a male. If it's silver with maybe the hint of colour, it's a female.

There is also a red coloured honey gourami. If yours is one of these, both males and females are red and you have to go by the shape of the fins. Rounded fins = female, pointy fins = male, though you do get females with pointier fins than most and males with less pointy fins.

The reason I mention these honey gouramis is that some shops call honeys by the name dwarf honey gourami, which is misleading as dwarfs and honeys are different species.
