I've hear different opinions myself. In fancies, I am not sure - but comet males are supposed to be narrower (thinner) and usually have white little bumps (like pimples) on their gills. Comet females tend to be wider (bigger tummies) and no bumps on her gills.

The males will chase the females around trying to mate with them. Thats how I tell mine apart, when they actually spawn. Then you know for sure.
