I purchased this fish at the price of $1.75 and I know it's a Gourami but i'm not sure what kind! It's about 4in-5in. Could you tell me the gender of the fish too? It was hard getting a clear picture because he is still stressed and he hides alot, is he compatible with Angelfish, Laetacara Dorsiger, Tetras? I also bought a Laetacara Dorsiger for $1.75 too. I currently have 2 Laetacara Dorsigers.

its a moonlight gourami
:iagree: Got the correct ID.
 
Moonlights are extremely peaceful and timid. Those two are going to be really pretty.

Is it a male or a female? Did I get a good deal? Is it compatible with my fish? They are listed in the First Post.
Are the dorsal fins pointed or rounded? Second pic looks like a male. They're peaceful as mentioned by Pyramid.
 
If round, it could be a female. That's the only way to indicate their sexes unless they manage to spawn in front of you. They'll be fine together. It'll depend on the angelfish. Most coexist well with gouramis but some can be nasty.
