Sexing Gouramis

[nfras]

Does anyone know how to sex Gourami? Most places say that males are aggressive so if I can I am trying to just get females but want to make sure I can tell little girl gouramis from little boys. thanks

what type of gourami's are they? Gouramis are also among the species of fish that are not as easily sexed. Males and females often are similarly colored and shaped. However, there is one fairly universal sexual difference seen in most Gourami species. The dorsal fin is long and and comes to a distinct point in males, while females have a shorter rounded dorsal fin.
In addition to the dorsal fin differences, certain species show color variations between the sexes. The male Pearl Gourami has a deep red-orange coloration on the throat and breast. The male Moonlight Gourami has orange to red coloration of the pelvic fins.
