I have to dwarf gouramis, how do I know if they are trying to mate?

Question

The bigger one is constantly chasing the smaller one and rubbing up alongside. Is this a sign that he is trying to mate? how do I tell?

I dont know what sex each of them are when we bought them from 'Pets at Home' there was nothing distinguishing the sexes.

Answer 1

The dwarf gourami has diagonal turquoise blue stripes on their reddish orange body. The males are larger and more colorful than the females. The male becomes very brightly colored at spawning time. The male and female Gourami dance with each other in the breeding aquarium and the male will cup the female Gouramis body and wiggle next to her.
