I have 2 blue gourami's and 2 gold. Three of them are getting very big and look really healthy, but the one little blue one concerns me. It is smaller than the others, swims kind of side ways and keeps to itself. It is eating and swimming around, but it has ALWAYS been this way. Could it be that it's a different sex than the others or do you think it has some sort of problem???? Is this normal???? Water parameters are good. 55 gallon tank.

That does not sound "normal" (but again what is normal?) to me.
Being smaller it is possible it could be an opaline as they are smaller and it could be getting bullied by the others. If it is not that you could have a medical problem. Please note I have said "could" in both cases.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
