Gouramis are also among the species of fish that are not as easily sexed. Males and females often are similarly colored and shaped. However, there is one fairly universal sexual difference seen in most Gourami species. Females have a shorter rounded dorsal fin. Males grow a longer dorsal fin -- twice as long as the females.’ Females grow a plump belly that looks like they swallowed a marble.
In addition to the dorsal fin differences, certain species show color variations between the sexes.

Sounds like you may have a male and a female. If it were two males they may fight. It is normal for some fish to chase each other. Like playing.
