I went to walmart and bought 3 dwarf gouramis, two are blue and one is orange, i think they are all males because they all have pointed dorsal fins. Any tips on sexing them? i know the females are supposed to be pale silvery blue with rounded dorsal fins.
also, any idea on how to sex the blue paradise gouramis? do the females have shorter fins? one of mine looks like its less colorful than the other, and im thinking the fins are a little shorter, but other than that i can't tell.
Im going to the LFS next week to try and get some females because i don't think wal mart has any... but when i buy from wal mart i feel like i am "rescuing" the fish.
Edit:
not even sure what they really are.. stupid walmart, anyway, here are some pics from my camera phone, i apolagize for the quality, but its all i have digital. i think the red one is a bloodred dwarf gourami becuase he has no blue whatsoever. I think the other two are powder blue dwarf gouramis. because they are blue with some orange
