The way to tell on Gouramis is by the dorsal ( top) fin. Short rounded fins are females and longer more pointed once are males. The one in the top picture should be a female and the one in the bottom a male. Also, these do not appear to be natural honey gouramis. They appear to be a hybrid with another type of gourami. I believe them to be a hybrid of T. chuna and T. labiosa. The male is showing more traits of the T. labiosa while the female is showing more traits of the T. chuna but nether one is showing 100% only T chuna.
