Indeed a gourami. You might want to add alittle more vegitation to your tank so he/she can hide and feel safe.

I used some vine that is meant for terrariums, it came in a 6' long section and I just cut it to length and placed some at the top/back of my tank. I also have a section covering the intake tube for my pump in the back/right corner. All 3 of my gourami love it, i see them chase eachother from one plant to the next.

The driftwood also gives them a good hiding spot with some holes and channels to swim thru.

Before any of the vegitation, my gourami were boring and always stayed in the back corner next to my heater.

The way to sex Gourami's... Males dorsal fin's a pointed, while a female has rounded end. V=male U=female, also the female has a bit more of a belly or thicker abdomen. Males tend to be flatter throughout their torso's.
I can't tell from those pix, also as Susankat says it's likely a gold, honey's starburst, etc. are breeding adaptation of gold's. And without a more detailed pic it's hard to see any of the tell tale marks.
They do like to eat most everything, espessially bloodworms...
And I'd get two more if you can, they like being social.
I've rescued a couple Gourami (3spot, blue) that were kept solo, their colors when I got them were very dull almost gone. When I put them in with the others it was like they were plugged into a 110 outlet.
