Sex My Gouramis?

[jakets]

Hey everyone, I need to clear something up, I recently acquired a very pretty Gold Gourami for free. My current Gourami is very vicious to this new arrival and has been kept separated for now. I am planning to return the new Gourami, but would still like to know what sex they each are, so I can try possibly 2 females.

Thanks!

Well your new gourami is definitely a female since it has more depth at its belly and the obvious trait is that it has a rounded dorsal fin. For the top picture I also think that its a female as well. The colouring on the first one seems to be quite pale or it might just be the lighting, but pale colour would mean that its stressed.
