Do my cherries look gravid?

I bought this fish 2 days ago and it is my first gourami.

It was advertised as a pearl gourami and I believe it’s a golden pearl gourami.

Just wondering if it is male or female.

Also this fish did not have a whisker fin when I bought it and it is missing part of its tail from what I think was fin nipping in its previous tank.
Is there anything I can do to help its growth.

This fish has already gotten much more colorful in the past 2 days and I’m super excited for it to be settled in.

Started up this tank a couple days ago.

It currently has 3 filters.

One that already has media from my other established tank.

I’m definitely going to move my 6 otocinclus catfish and 6 cherry barbs into this tank.

Does anyone have any advice for a new tank, the scape, plants, or other stocking options once it’s all cycled?

In a 10g with 1 female betta, some cherry barbs and 3 snails.

The one oto in the photos did already have part of his lower tail fin missing so I know it’s not from my fish.

3 males 2 females(1 long fin)

They seem like they are doing super well I haven’t noticed any issues

They are in a 10g with 3 otos, 3 snails and a very chill female betta.

I might move the barbs and otos into a 29 gallon but I will have to cycle that tank first which might take a while.

They have 2 filters one sponge and another bigger filter.

They have some natural wood that the otos love, a moss structure, a couple of moss balls, hornwort, and a huge raccoon tail.

Any thoughts on this tank or advice, I do want to change up the scape because I don’t love fake plants but they are working pretty well so far.
