1. It’s a female.
2. It looks rather slim. I does not look like a female ready to spawn.
3. What are you feeding? To get licorice gouramis ready for spawning it needs some time and good food.
4. Very good are mosquito larvae, “glass worms” (weiße Mückenlarven), limited numbers of Grindal or Enchytraeus, freshly hatched (!) Artemeia nauliae, Moina macrocopa or Cyclops. Bad are Daphnia or Artemia which are some days old.
5. Did you see the male displaying already? With “sexy eyes”?
6. Did the female respond with sexy eyes? If not, it is not ripe for spawning.
7. Good feeding is the method you should take. And wait.
