So i picked up 2 dwarf gouramis they other day and i need help sexing them. I read quite a bit about how to tell the difference im them and im pretty sure i have a male and female but i dont have a trained eye when it come to sexing non-livebearers! They still seem small but im not sure because i have never had them before so i hope someone who knows alot about them can help me. The pair get along real well that i have noticed and i dont see them fighting or picking on each other and they are always at each others side but i have seen them like circle each other and then like touch bodies together and like "hug" for a sec and its not like they are doing the mating "hug" cuz there is no bubble nest or its not a tight grip the squeezes eggs out so i am wondering if that means they are fighting or interested with each other for a mating pair which i hope!! They live with my platies and they all get along with each other except for the occasional get away from my algae wafer peck so far so good!! One strange thing though is my male platy follows the smaller DG around like its his gf and i have even seen him try to do the mating dance with it so im not sure if that means that one is a female and my platy is confused and its not a fighting/bullying thing each cuz they arent pecking/biting each other. So here are the pics of them and if someone could help me tell the gender and give me info about them i would really appreciate it!!:thm: I had to put them in a betta cup to take a pic of them because they were to fast for me to take one of them in the tank! Dont worry i dont keep them there!!
I think this one is a female and is about 1 &1/2in or 4cm.
I think this on is the male and is about 1 & 3/4in or 4 & 1/2cm.
