Male or female pearl gourami?

[GouramiLover]

So I was hoping to trade or sell this pearl gourami, but some question as to whether it is male or female has arisen.

I hope I can get some opinions as to whether this pearl gourami is male or female

See if you can get a pic of it against a darker background so we can see the fins better in a side view like this one.

Hope this helps!

Male definitely. The long fin spines are the way to tell. Some females will have a few but not that many. The dorsal on the female is shorter and rounder in the rear part. He hasn't colored up in his breeding color yet. No rich golden redbreast yet. OS.

I thought so. Thanks for your opinion!
