Just wanted to share this experience or see if anyone else had this happen to them...
I had a pair of honey gouramis in my community tank a couple of months back. I decided to rehome my male gourami because he would become aggressive towards the other fish after breeding. Anyways my female looked lonely and would just follow her reflection or stay in one spot. She also developed a black line underneath her which is something i though only male honey gouramis do.
So i decided to add another female honey gourami to the tank. My old female quickly became social and somewhat her old usual self again, but it looks like she is trying to mate with the new female? She will tilt to display her colors like male honey gouramis would do in order to get a female's attention and (if you know what honey gourami mating looks like) she would swim very close to the new female and try to mate.
I just thought this behavior was really strange. It's only been a day so maybe i'm just imagining things. If anyone else had this happen to them let me know!!
