Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can help me confirm the sex of my honeys.

Honey 1:

My initial impression is they’re both males with Honey 1 being the dominant and colouring up nicer. Both seem to have sharp/pointed dorsal fins but I think they’re relatively young (4cm).

Behaviour wise they share a heavy planted 100L and often squabble and chase around some driftwood very occasionally but nothing serious has happened in the past month I’ve had them.

I believe they were sold as “golden honey gourami”, but I can’t seem to find any concrete information on a variation called that.

Any gourami experts appreciated!

They are Sunset honey Gourami
1. looks like it will be Male as already showing the Black chest line.
2. Def looks Female, much rounder bodied.
 
Ahh thanks!

I assume it's not too uncommon for M/F pairs to squabble a little then?

Yeah they can squabble from time to time, My Male Honey chases the female away when he is still building a nest. The dances for her to entice her towards it.
