You can tell if they are males or females after they are about 2-3 weeks old
I just had myself guppy fry, they are about 5 weeks old now

Good luck
hope that answered your question

I have had quite a few fry from my female guppies. I found that once you can see the first hint of a tail and colors, you can tell what sex the fish are. The females will have little mini gravid spots on them. I have found that I have very few females, and many males. It depends on temp, ph, and hardness...

You won't be able to tell the gender of the babies right away. In a few weeks they will start to change, and the males will develop a more pointed anal fin, and after that their colors will start to appear. This is the time to separate the males and females.

The male fry are not born with their colourful tails. These develop when they mature.

Even when my fry mature, females seem to be more common b/c they are more hardy

You may have to wait until they grow larger.
