Im trying to determine the gender of some guppy fry but for now they are still so small they are almost transparent ? and i was wondering at what age their colors would show?

You can start to sex some some time around 4 weeks, the females start showing a gravid spot while the males don't.

You can normally look at the shape of the anal fin also. I would not try to go based on color.
