No,they typically don't change gender. However,their gonopodiums (little fishy peenie!) don't really appear any different from female anatomy until a couple of months of age. Flick,a male guppy I bred accidentally,turned out to be a male just recently... and this whole time I've been thinking he was a she.Why do my guppies seem to have no male babies?
In that case,occasionally possessive males will also eat any male fry offspring they have (if they're in the same tank). Salinity in the water,and temperature,have some minor things to do with it,too. I believe higher PH usually also spawns more females than males.

Basically all baby guppies will look like females until they grow up a bit. You should be able to tell them apart before too long.

Becuase they like girls better.
If you have fancy guppies. The male will have a pettier tail then the female as they get older too.
You really cant tell if it is going to be male or female until it is a couple of months old
