Well the males develop there gonopodium at about 4 months old so that's when you should be able to tell the gonopodium id like their anal fin!! pretty much all male livebearers will have a long pointy one and females have a normal anal fin!!

I have babies between 2 weeks and 3 months and none have there gonopodiums yet so i'll have to wait too!!! it's a cool suprise.
