It depends; many types of fish can not be distinguished by physical differences and must be decided by behavioral differences or by venting. Both sexes can display actions of being male and female given the circumstances and venting one needs either experience or a diagram to correctly assume the sex of the fish. There are some types of fish that can be sexed by physical differences such as guppies, betas, types of cichlds. Most often in these cases a male will display longer fins and more vibrant coloration. The best advice is to determine what species of cichlid you have, and then look up information on that species. Likely any quality guide or website on that species will give you specific information as to how to sex that particular species.
