Sexing guppies is relatively easy. Generally speaking, the males have much longer, ornate and colorful finnage, whereas the females tend to have smaller fins and not as much color. Of course, a more sure fire method of sexing guppies is to examine their anal/ventral fin. As is true with most common livebearers, the ventral fin on the male is formed into a pointed device called the gonopodium, which is used for depositing sperm. The female's fin is larger and rounded in order to aid in sperm reception.
Guppies can mature by three months. Males are generally smaller, but often longer finned. Mature females are full bodied and have a gravid spot which is a dark spot near their vent. Males are much more colorful.
Are you looking to breed guppies if so I can recommend a great website to look at and give you some pointers?

Female guppies will have short colorful tails and are usually tan or brown in color. The male guppies have larger tails, and are a different color, which will range anywhere from black to brown.

Take them to the Outback and then watch to see if they go in the Blokes or Sheila restroom. And then you will know for sure!
