In the first 3 pics is the gourami that i bought yesterday and i'm really hoping that it's a female

and in the last is the one i bought almost a month ago, and to me it looks like a male!

I bought her thursday and she had an osmotic shock after introducing her into the aquarium (i acclimatised her accordingly)

She had a shock and kept spinning in circles 30 minutes after i put her in the tank.

I moved her in a separate bowl for 24h, in complete darkness and left her like that to gain a little bit of strenght.

Friday at around 8pm i acclimatised her again and introduced her in the aquarium again.

She looked a bit better but still layed on the substrate breathing slowly.

I left her like that for 2 days, and when i came back home i found her swimming normally, but occasionally laying on the substrate barely breathing..

I'm really trying to save her but can she be saved? I introduced a male gourami the same way and he's more than happy and healthy...

Please give me any tips you can.

ph 7.5
gh 12
kh 8
no2-0
no3-0.05mg/l

it looks calcified and i can't see no live tissue but idk

34L tank

Tropica Aquasoil (around 5cm thickness)

Chihiros A2 301 MAX on 80% 8 hours a day

CO2 with 1.5bubbles/sec

Liquid Masterline 1/2 and Carbo Fertilizers

Plants in question:

Rotala Red

Ludwigia Rubin

Alternanthera Reinikii Liliacina

I've had CO2 for 2 weeks now and trimmed back the plants that were a bit pale so the new ones will grow better (I hope)

I got this honey gourami 2 weeks ago and he barely eats hikari vibra bites or frozen bloodworms

But he loves to eat hikari sinking wafers alongside the corys

Also, could he eat shrimps too and his belly be full all the time? But he's 3.5cm long and looks peaceful when i observe him!

He won't stay for a better picture so yeah..
