The male has brighter colors and a more rounded dorsal or top fin. It's easiest to tell them apart when you can see a tank full at once.
This page has a picture of a male:

Note the dorsal fin difference, that's the easiest way to tell.

The males are much more colorful. Actually, many pet stores stock only males, because they sell much better due to the brighter colors. You could probably get them to special order the females for you, if they don't have them in stock.

Well you tell by the color of the nose (the part above the beak). The male's will be a dark blue, or purple color. The female's will be either, light blue, tanish pink, or pink, and sometimes even a mix of those. Hope I answered your question.
