Males are usually bigger and more brightly coloured, while the females are generally duller and smaller. For example, male betas are very colourful and have the pretty tail, where as the females do not. You can also look at the dorsal fin ( on the top of the fish ); males have bigger fins than the females. Hope this helps.

In several species, the female is actually generally larger to accommodate a large clutch of eggs, although the male is generally more colourful during mating season, even in these species.

~Males have bumps on their heads, and females do not. La de da da da....... Woooo weeeee!!!! that is not true because i just bought 150 fish at the store, and they all have bumps on their heads.

Well if we are referring to Betta fish a female is generally smaller and there will be a white dot on her "chest" the bottom of the fish. A male will be bigger and not have this white dot. Hope this is helpful.
