Gouramies are egg layers (they do not give birth) and a female needs to be spawned out (embraced) naturally by a male under his bubble nest. If she is chubby because she is full of ova do not worry. Her own metabolism will take care of reabsorbing the ova if she is not spawned out.
Not really. There will be some bullying in the tank if the gourami is bigger than the dwarf gourami. Usually the dwarf will be left lone but there is usually fin nipping.
I would advise not to add a dwarf gourami with a honey dwarf gourami. The honey gourami is very shy and much smaller than the dwarf gourami, and the dwarf gourami is prone to being very agressive. Depending on your luck, you might get a gourami with a nicer temperment. I wouldn't suggest it though.
Put them in separate tanks
yes .they can even breed
Perciformes
im pretty sure they will if the conditions are right

The scientific name for a Dwarf Gourami is Colisa lalia.
The "blue" Dwarf Gourami (Colisa lalia) is sexed the same way as all Dwarf gouramis. The male is brightly coloured and the female is much plainer.

In my family's tank, we have 2 Dwarf Gourami and 2 Fire Dwarf Gourami. They live fine and no fights have happened. Make sure not to have one more male then female or the males will fight. As long as there are even numbers of male and female, any fish would work really, besides really aggressive fish.
Only fish in the same class gourami, and try to keep the fish around the same size as the fish you have.
