There is no easy way to determine the gender of the kissing gourami (helostoma temminckii), since there is no apparent sexual dimorphism. I suggest that you wait until they reach adulthood; the one that lays the eggs (ova) will be the female, and the one that is doing the wrap around will be the male.

How do you know when pink kissing fish are going to have babies?
Kissing gouramis (Helostoma temminicki) are Anabantids and build a bubble nest in which to guard and rear their ova (eggs). It is not likely that they will breed for you until they are adult and over 10 inches long
Is it possible for a gourami to mate with a platy and get pregnant?
no. fish can only mate with fish of the same species. Gouramis mate with gouramis and platys mate with platys.
What fish can you keep in a fish bowl?
The best candidates are Betta fish and Paradise Gouramis
If you have 2 gouramus in a 5 gallon tank how do you get your gouramis to stop fighting?
Gouramis aren't really great fish to have together unless they have room to move around (e.g. at least 5 gallons per fish). Your tank is MUCH too small to have two gouramis, they're fighting for territory. If you don't want to return one to the fish store, then you should definitly just get a bigger tank. Unless you have dwarf gouramis, you should have them in at least 20 gallons. It also depends on what kind of gouramis you have. Some are more social and are more likely to school (dwarf gouramis, pearl gouramis) whereas others prefer to be top dog (opaline gouramis, blue gouramis). Good luck!

Do gouramis change gender?
Gourami fish do not change gender. Their genders are hard to pinpoint at first, but as they grow it is easy to differentiate between the two. Males are smaller than females, are slimmer in overall girth, and have longer dorsal fins that come out to a point.
Can you keep 4 goldfish and 1 kissing fish together?
No. Kissing Fish, aka Kissing Gouramis, are large growing (around 12") highly territorial tropical fish. The lip locking they do is actually them fighting, nothing cute about it! For a single Kissing Gourami you need at least a 75 gallon tank. Goldfish are large growing, very messy coldwater fish. They should not be kept with tropical fish at all. For 4 Goldfish you need a minimum of a 55-75 gallon tank while they're juveniles, over 100 gallons when they're adults. And they should grow very fast.
Would 2 kissing gouramis a group of Cory fish and a female betta all go together in a 10 gal tank?
Would be pressing the limits, some fighting could occur if territories overlap or lack of housing, but might be workable if properly filtered, aerated and maintained. A higher bio load could mean more frequent water changes.
What fishes can go with the kissing fish?
Kissing gouramies grow quite large (about 12 inches) so they need to be housed in large aquaria. (Minimum of a 4 foot tank).They are good community fish and can be kept with just about any other reasonably peacefull fish.
How big do kissing gouramis get adult size?
They grow to be 1 and 3/4 inches when they are adults.
