So as far as I can tell, my honey gourami Mr. Mango shows no outward signs of any illness. But at times he is quite leisurely in his swimming, and will stay in one spot for a pretty long time. Usually he hides in some floating plants at the top of the tank, or hides in more plants near the bottom of the tank.
Lately however, he likes to sit on the bottom right corner of the tank, upright but rather still. He still moves his feelers around and looks around when he sits like this, but when he's "comfy" he doesn't like to move much.
He swims around the tank no problem, doesn't have any clamped fins or other fin problems. He seems to be kind of a fussy eater, most of what I try to feed him he spits out at least a few times. At least hopefully eats it? He's kind of slow when it comes to feeding, so the other fish will sometimes eat what he's swimming towards :c
I'll include a picture next time. But does this sound like normal gourami behavior (aside from the eating thing, I just have to find something he likes!)
