You should be able to tell them apart from 3-4 weeks old. If you can not see gravid spots to well as sometimes the color of the guppy can make the task difficult, try looking at the different shaped bottom fins. Fan shaped are females, And strait,long, and pointed are males.

Good luck

It may even be into five weeks if your tanks are really cool. However the gravid spot will still be the best and first indicator. I believe all of the fry's anal fins will look much the same until the males develop. If you wait until you recognize the male gonopodiums, at least some of the females may be inseminated. :(

Patience. :) You're doing fine and have a week or two yet with your guppies before they may reveal their genders. ;)

All the best!
