Sorry to laugh but I think you need to specify your question a little better... What kind of fish do you want to sex?

I'm not talking about any specific fish, just making sure I got the jargon right

Some fish you cant sex!
What you have to do is if you would like to breed a certain fish which is un-sexable buy a load of them from Juviniles then watch them pair off over the months!
And thus finding a breeding pair!

Every fish is sexable...lol....some you gotta wait longer than others....lol....like Oscars...you gotta wait for them to pair up usually and breed...then you can tell...hey! ur a Maam and ur a Sir!! But yes, some fish are very difficult to tell....wish it was as simple as lifting up their scales and takin a peek...:P

Usually the female will have a visible white dot on the underside of the fish.
Miles sexes fish a little bit differently ;) . OHHHH Yeah

Is Miles's wife aware of this? :WHOA:
We have one rule in our shop. What goes in the fish store.... stays in the fish store. (unless it can be used against them in a forum)
