Sexing Golden Gourami

[TrainRek77]

These are my two gourami. I think that one is a male and one is a female. Any help making sure?

Gourami one

Gourami two.

Looks like 2 female but difficult to tell from those pictures. Male have pointy dorsal fin and female has rounded ones. If they look the same on both then you probably have 2 female. It should be quite obvious.

PS Looking at the photos again at home on a desktop the first one MAY be male.

I think the first one is a male too. He absolutely has a longer dorsal fin but it is quite round. The, I guess anal fin?, is different on each of them as well. I'm sure once they get bigger it will be easier to tell.

You should be able to tell at this size. Pointy - male, round -female.

Try to get a better pic of the top one, Gourami #1. It looks like a young male but it's hard to tell. Gourami #2 is a female.

That's a male. Here's my male (now rehomed) - note the pointed dorsal fin.
