Well, you know the color is the easiest way to identify?
Females are very dull and drab, almost gray in color, and males colors are much more bright

besides that...
Males can be slightly larger than females

pics for comparison from aquariumfish.net

Ditto that...the males have very vibrant colors 99% of the time, whether it be fiery red, blue or turquoise, or a mixture. The females are extremely dull compared to them. If you aren't sure which you have, post a pic.

Uh, maybe you should fix those URLs...they don't point to where you think they point. I think you got the URL part and the text part backwards. Maybe this is what you meant?

Female

That's quite a color difference between the fish, but I kind of had the impression that the female had no coloration whatsoever. Now I feel better about possibly getting some.
