It is impossible to answer without knowing what species you are referring to. Some are very easy to identify, others can be quite difficult.

there's a web-site called cichlid-forum.com Put the word "venting" in the search box and it will tell you how to sex them. Kepp in mind you should have 2 females for every 1 male

Again, some fish will pair up, others are best to have many females to male. Generalizations are best avoided with cichlids
