Look at the fin on their underside - if it is triangular shaped, the fish is female. If it is a long, thin fin, then it is male. The same applies to platys. http://groups.msn.com/MollyFish/breedingmollies.msnw With livebearing fish of that type, it’s fairly easy to determine their sex.

Plus they like to eat their young. Ick. Anyway, the males are smaller with a leaner body and a more angled look to their tail fin. The females are about fifty percent larger than the male and more 'thick' looking with a less refined tail.

Someone working at PetSmart should know. Fortunately or unfortunately, if you don't have any plants in your aquarium the babies will be eaten. At least that's my experience.
