Ok so this is certainly no monster fish...but today I bought 2 dwarf gouramis. One was clearly a male, and this is the other one I bought. The store associate said they should all be male. But this one's coloring is much plainer than the male. Anyone know?
This is a picture of my fish:

They do look similar! Right now everyone is living fine together, but is it ok to mix regular size gouramis and the dwarf gouramis? Right now that one looks a good deal smaller than the male. Given the correct size tank, can you mix the two?
 
there's not really a big difference in size. as I recall, most of the gourami that I and my father kept (long ago) didn't have trouble with their current varied gourami tankmates, it was adding a new one that was the problem.
trying to keep a dwarf with a giant.... probably not a good idea, I don't think this will be a problem.
