Females are fatter then males and males have a bump under their armpits. Also the little tail stubble on females supposedly is larger then in males but I have not been able to judge by the tail stubble myself. The difference there is just too small. Males also sing at night. Mine have been at this mating thing for the past 2 months and I now have 4 tadpoles. The last two I just found today when I changed out some water in this tubberware container. I have some java moss in there. So when they laid the last batch of eggs I tossed a few eggs into the tubberware box (since the breeder net seemed a bad choice, but I did not think anything would come of those eggs, no airstone in the tubberware box and they are supposed to need that) but 2 hatched anyway. Maybe even more, some may still be hiding in the java moss. They are growing pretty fast. The older two are almost twice the size of the ones I just found today and they are only a few days older. They look like little fat black/green (more black actually) fish but with a hugh belly compared to the tail and their eyes glow green.
