you wont be able to tell from sight only, your sure way to tell is when she is ready to lay eggs. Her organ will look like a short swollen looking protrusion from her while the males will be very thin in comparison.

I used to breed angelfish on a large scale, and was amused by many of the internet legends of how to sex angelfish. I always reality checked the indicators against my known pairs. None of them held true, except the only sure-fire way to tell: wait for them to spawn, the one depositing the eggs is the female.
