I have been raising two kissing gouramies for 5 years or so and I can't tell whether they are a girl or a boy? I have one pic of the oldest kissing gourami I have:

It is pretty much impossible to sex these gouramis, as there are no discernable external features that set the genders apart. Anyways, I can't tell what sex yours is from the picture. Each gender is the same in looks and behavior, so it really doesn't matter which one you have.
I take it you were just curious?

Of course I'm curious, I had these fish for sooo long.

I heard that a female gourami is fatter than a male gourami

I have bene told that males will kiss lots and lots.
Hence there name!

I have 3 that are just under 6 inches at present and they kiss quiet a bit so I am thinking that they are 3 males.

But not sure if that is correct. Just what I have heard.

Not just the males that "kiss". Not just Kissing Gouramies for that matter..either. I had blue gouramies , both females, that would kiss/battle all the time..finally had to get rid of one.
