Some Help Would Be Appreciated :)

This is like the second time ive asked this. Last time the pics were pretty fuzzy so no one was very sure but i think the pics are better this time. What I want to know is if this is a male or female.

Oh sorry forgot to mention it is a blue paradise gourami. lol

It's still very blurry. Hard to tell

I don't think it's blurry as much as it's completely out of focus. The background is what's in focus.

Male, pointed dorsal.
Picture is blurry, but if female dorsal would be rounded.

Yeah its still better than the last ones though. Im taking them with my phone sooo… thanks! I've just never even seen blue paradise gouramis untill a week ago so i had no idea how to tell the diference. I have a male gold gourami with it so one of them is going to have to go.

You could just buy another tank.

That would be a lot more expensive.

That's for sexing gouramis. The same doesn't apply for paradise fish.

Males have longer fins and brighter coloration plus obvious egg spots on the anal fin during breeding time.

Females have shorter fins, duller coloration and slightly smaller in terms of length.

Both male and females have pointed fins.

What about those long antenna like fins down by its belly? Are those are really short.

Looks like a male to me too

I'm no expert but that looks like a female to me, the short fins are the reason.  If it was a male the tail fin would be around the same length as the body.  The only reason I can't be sure is that younger Paradise males take a while to develop the longer fins.  Females are also gennerally fatter like yours is, no offense LOL.  Same with other types of Gouramis.

 

[az9]

Yeah. But it's a little late. Lol I posted this weeks ago. And it died. sadly. It was really bloated. I waited like 4 days to feed it and then I fed it a pea but it still didn't work…

 

[Ruskull]

Sorry for your loss.

 

[az9]

Thank you.
