Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and I figured I'd ask for some help.

I had three opaline Gouramis in my tank, a 10 gal, I am working on getting a larger tank. I sold the largest one because he was a huge bully. So now my smallest Gourami, possibly a male, and a larger female are the only ones in that tank besides an algea eater and a African clawed frog.

Now these two are 'kissing' every now and then when they were courting each other several times while the big bully was in the tank. So what happened, please help!!! Then they'll go back to normal exploring their chosen side of the tank.

I'm new to Gourami so I'm struggling a bit with identifying male / female.

Thanks!

Female had a rounded dorsal fin and a rounder belly.

I can't really see the top fins clearly but the silhouette would look like the female is the bigger one.

Male would have a pointed dorsal fin.
