Gouramis are pigs, as most fish are. If they are chasing each other a lot, then you've probably got 2 males. I keep multiple males together as well, and they chase uite a bit. Do yours get side by side and flair their fins straight up, making themselves look bigger than they really are? If so, you've got 2 males for sure. Females usually just run when chased.
