Anybody have a good picture of a female dwarf gourami? I can't seem to find any on the net. Are they all plain silver in color?
 
I don't have a picture, but my lfs had them once and they are like the males, except they are silver and brown instead of red and blue.
 
Male on top, female on bottom...

I'm sharing another picture here of the female gourami.

IMO, I think she's pretty attractive: not just silver, but a shade of blue and gold, and under certain light condition, a glow of amber as well :)

She is very pregnant but not yet having eggs yet...

I got her along with the male, and obviously the male is very different in color and body shape. However, I guess if there is no eggs yet then she is not 100% confirmed ;)

Any way, most of the time she much duller than in this picture. I just got her at an angle of the tank light and flash that somehow showed a lot more colors than usual.
 
Just kinda curious because I had one that looked like that, which I assumed was a female, but come to find out when I put it and a known male in a spawning tank, it was in all actuallity a male. Every single female I have seen doesn't have any color on it, they're just silver.
 
Where did you guys get your female gouramis? None of my LFS's have any.
