I've read that you can begin distinguishing the fish at about one week of age. this is very hard (for me at least because they like to squirm around) and also somewhat unnecessary. waiting until they are about a month old is easier and also around the time you can begin separating them if you chose to do so. a Female will have a larger more fan-like fin on it's underside and a male will have a modified fin called a "gonopodium".
