Is this guy/gal male or female? I'd like to get one or two more, but I heard males get territorial or something?

All I know is that female dwarf gouramis are kinda rare and hard to find. I also think they are not that colorful. So i think u have a male, but u might want to have someone confirm that
 
in ny, all the gourami they sell are females so they could have more stock with no problems. anyway, to tell look at the bottom fin and the top fin, if they're more rigid and sharp, its a male, if it's rounded at the end, it's a female
 
Looks like a male to me...from the research I've done. The elongated pointy dorsal fin is the tell if I understand correctly.
 
i dont see as much colour as mine, ill go with female
 
the color varies with each dealer...so color isnt really the easiest way of distinguishing it, looking at the fins is
