Best Answer

It depends on the species. There are at least three different species commonly called 'Gourami'. In the case of Colisia sp. and Helostoma sp. the male is much more colourfull than the female. In Trichogaster sp. the main difference is in the fins. The males have much longer flowing fins than the female.

You can tell if it is a female fish if, the fish has an egg sack.

If the fish does not have an egg sack, it is a male.

Can honey dwarf gourami live with dwarf gourami?

I would advise not to add a dwarf gourami with a honey dwarf gourami. The honey gourami is very shy and much smaller than the dwarf gourami, and the dwarf gourami is prone to being very agressive. Depending on your luck, you might get a gourami with a nicer temperment. I wouldn't suggest it though.
