How to tell if a Gourami is male or female

[fishyoutuber]

I have two Gouramis, one Red and Blue Dwarf Gourami and a Honey Gorami. I was wondering how can you tell if they are male or female?

Link refers to opaline gouramis, but some general traits of sexing gouramis are listed

For the Honeys coloration is good indicator. Males are yellowish-or orange, depending on if its s "red" honey. Females are a brownish/silver color-usually with some banding, pretty boring which is why they can be hard to find for sale.

Good site for fish info with some nice pics:

For the dwarfs, 99.9% sure they are males simply because no one sells females, they aren't wanted in the everyday fish trade.
