Which species?

[David Luke]

I recently purchased 8 of these listed generically as licorice gouramis. Can anyone help with a species ID?

B) To be honest, that would be impossible. These could be females, in which case it is completely impossible to id them, since most female resembles each other.
If you have 8, there should be males among them, and it only through good photos of one of these – where it is showing good coloration that we can help identifying what species it could be.

Thank you for your response. All the fish are eating well so hopefully as they mature, the males will reveal themselves and an id can be established.
