It really depends on the species. Mollies, Platys, and Swordtails are livebearing fish. The males have a modified anal fin that looks pointed, while the female anal fin is more of a fan. This fin is located on the ventral (belly) side of the fish behind the anus. In other species, the best method is the look at color differences. Usually males are more colorful and smaller in size.

usually the best way is to see the fins of the fish .in few varieties the fins are split for females and single for males .also the female happen to be a bit heavier and have a protruding nudge in their lower belly

It really depends on the species. Some species are indistinguishable. Others it is blatanly obviously. If they are very colorful and have longer and more elongated fins they are male and vice versa.

Some fish you can tell by their obvious colour and their reproductive organs. Others you have to 'vent' to be sure.

put pink stones on one side and blue stones on the other and see where he/she spends most of the time.
