Are these honey or thick lipped gouramis?

I bought these 2 about a week ago and I figure out what species they are, even after looking at pictures and forum discussing for the past 5 days.

My tank is an Oase 85, well planted, and they currently go along well with 12 Ember Tetras and 10 Corydoras Hastatus.

I'm inclined to think they are Honey Gouramis, based on the last picture of a Thick lipped (they seem to have a slight dent above the eyes and have a longer body.

There aren't any real honeys in this color.

Red honeys, red robins, they are all T.labiosa (or an hybrid but are called T.labiosa)

These are thicklipped.
Regrettably, I brought them back to the store.
I think they had a blast for almost a week in my tank.
I also liked their confidend attitude and cleaning services.

I think the Trichogaster Labiosa will outgrown my tank. I've read that they grow to 10cm and my tank is only 50x36x40 cm (22gal).

This possible "hybrid" won't get that large but think a 50 cm tank is to small indeed.
Wise decisssion
