Can I just confirm a few things, please.

Your water tests - are ammonia zero, nitrite zero and nitrate below 20 ppm?
The poop - was it 'normal' coloured or white and stringy?

From the photos, the fish doesn't look too happy. And it's a male not a female, it's the natural colour and natural females are silvery beige while this one is tan coloured. His throat is white when it should be anything from tan with black speckles to dark inky black when he's in the mood for breeding.

Which leads me to ask, what sex is the other honey gourami? If that too is a male, this one could be being picked on by the other. A 50 litre tanks just isn't big enough for 2 males; they are territorial fish and one will try to drive the other out of its territory - but in a tank, it can't leave so the dominant one sees the other as constantly challenging it.

Could you post photos of both fish, please, preferably from the side. I do realise fish are not the easiest of creatures to photograph 

Thank you.
Have just ordered the anti ulcer and finrot treatment 🤞

Lovely to see another planted tank - do you have anubias there and is it planted in the substrate? Anubias is a rhizome plant and needs to be attached to a rock or wood and not planted in the substrate or it will eventually rot. I could be spotting something that isn’t there to spot and I’m not sure from the photo but thought it worth letting you know in case that’s the case

Very nice indeed.   

this is how my tank currently looks i got a bigger pieace of wood coming  aswell
