The males have more spots on their anal fin right? About 4 or 5? And the females have only 2 or three?

That can be a sign but not a sure thing.....

Venting is the only sure way, see hiedi's post

Can anyone tell me the differences in sexes

Egg spots are a pretty good sign in hongi, but ultimately the males are larger and more colourful - something you might not see until they are older though. When a male hongi goes into breeding dress or has a territory dispute, you'll know he's a male .
