Hi. This is my dads giant gourami, can any one tell me if it's a male or female.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it may be a female IMO.

Moving to the FW general discussion.

Looks like a female to me. In giant Gouramis males' dorsal and anal fin are more pointed.

She's still young so will it be easier the judge when she's bigger. But for now I will go on you's two judgement and let my dad know the she's a girl lol

 

[Dylan5359]

Oh wait how old is "it"?

 

[phatpaul]

Not to sure but it's about 6 to 7in so it's got lots of growing left to do

 

[Dylan5359]

Usually when their six months or less it's close to impossible to tell. Look out for a pointed anal fin ad dorsal fin, this usually indicates it's a male.
