i have two opaline gourami's. One of them always chase's the other one. So i was thinking about getting some other type of gourami's (not dwarf). I just need to know how to sex them so i dont get to many male's.

And how easy is it to mate gourami's aswell. Is it as easy as molly's ??

Thanks
 
Females dorsal and anal fins are rounded. males are longer and pointed. In some types there is also a color variation.
 
Well the difference between females and males is that males' dorsal fins are pointed while females' are rounded.

Breeding is pretty easy. First separate them into a different breeding tank (not necessary if you have only have small fish in your main tank.)
The male will build a bubble nest and will tend to the eggs until the fry are free-swimming. Once they're free-swimming you may want to separate them from the dad. Then raise them.

Good luck.
