How To Differentiate Color Morph Of Female Dwarf Gouramis?

So I went to my lfs yesterday and was very surprised they had female dwarf gouramis. Of course I just had to get a few! So I came home with 4 female dwarfs and want to add a male in with them. My question though is there a way to tell what color morphs the females are and if so what should I be looking for? I do not know if they are all one color morph or different ones because they were in a tank mixed with both male and female dwarfs of all three color morphs. At least I think its three color morphs. They had the powder blues, the red flames, and the mixture of the two that is blue with red stripping (while on this topic does this color morph have a name?). I just really like the thought of matching color morphs if there is a way to tell what the females are. Has anyone else kept multiple dwarfs together? I'd love to hear peoples experiences! They are in a 29 gallon tank. I am going to put a group of dwarf cories in with them to pick up any mess (and because I love cories!) and maybe some ember tetras (still debating). Opinions on this stocking? Finally, i'd like to know peoples opinions on how many dwarfs in total I should keep? Id like to know the numbers if I did go with a group of embers and if I did not get the embers. I will definitely be getting the cories (probably 8). Any opinions or suggestions are welcome!

 

Can you upload pictures?

 

Where I work, we refer to the red and blue striped morphs as 'neon dwarf gouramis'. The red colored morphs have been called bloodfin gourami and flame gourami. I'm totally unsure regarding your initial question, but that is the name I refer the striped ones by.

 

I usually refer to the three as:
- neon blues
- flame
- wild type

As for the females, there are small distinct differences, they look similar to the male counterparts but silvery in appearance. The most notable IMO is the neon blues, since they have a bluish-silvery appearance.

 

Let me know if better pics are needed!

 

aussieJJDude I find the females do not look like any of the morphs because they are all just a pale silver with no coloring. I added the pic so maybe people can give their opinions on what morph they are?

To me, they look like wild type. But maybe others see differently?

 

When y'all refer to wild type are you referring to the ones that are blue with red stripping (or vice versa). Also I may be leaning to powder blue with some of them. When I looked at pics of flame variety females the bottom fin tended to have a slight orange color whereas my gals if anything have a slight blue sheen.

 

I don’t see any faint stripes or gold tints. I’d guess powder blue females.
