It depends on the age and what species it is to know whether it's even possible without probing. Some are sexually dimorphic with age, others are much more difficult to tell.

so is it easy to tell male from femall with red uros

If they are old enough, you should be able to tell from the belly colors. Doug Dix told me that about a year old (or 7-9" they should at least be starting to show belly colors if they are male.
