It's in their color and the shinny, like for example if you can see gold fish in the tank observe them if the color is bright orange that's the female one if the color is a bit darker and a bit brownies that's the male one. with the other type of fish normally the males are slimmer and not as shinny and as bright as the females.

Duh still wondering if this a REAL question or just something to poke fun at.

Anyway here's a general answer to your question. Some fishes do show sexual differences such as the livebearing fishes like guppies, mollies, swordtails etc. But in general, there are 2 groups - showing monomorphic or dimorphic sexualism. Monomorphic means they all looked the same in appearance. Only the fish themselves can tell them apart or fish experts can tell by the venting technique by looking at the anus. Dimorphic fishes are easy to tell as both sexes have significant differences such as having different colorations, having different sexual organs, different in terms of size, finnages etc.

Hope that more or less answers the question.

As long as the fish is not in a serious relationship it doesnt matter what you do to it.

Put a handbag at one end of your fish tank and a TV showing the football at the other end. If they swim towards the TV and start watching the football they are male. If they swim towards the handbag they are female.
