Giant gourami

Hello guys
new here (and new with giant gourami)
can you help me identify if my GG is a male?
i have two, but i have them them separated because the bigger one was beating the other one
they don't get along?

ps: i'll share the picture of the other one later, so that someone can help me identify the sex

Welcome to the forum!
I couldn’t tell you, but 12 Volt Man most likely could. It may be too young to tell at this point.

Too young to tell at this stage and unfortunately one beating up the other is common practice in young ones of both sexes.
All I can suggest is space, as much as possible.

I agree too young to tell at this point. nice GG though !

Hello guys
My GG are one year old now
They are separated, but i'll put them in the same tank soon to see how it goes (in the past it went bad, super bad, the bigger one almost killed the other one)
Can you tell the gender now?

This one is about 21 cm


And this one around 14 cm

still pretty tough to tell but I'm leaning towards female as the fins are rounded not pointy

I have always figured big Charlie is a male because of the pointed fins but maybe he's female because his hump isn't huge.

Could be Charlize lol
