You sex black widows by body shape rather than finnage & there are longfin varieties.

Your tank is way overstocked & you are going to have serious problems as the current inhabitants grow - just the firemouths alone are enough to fill the tank - so please don't buy any more fish.

im gonna be buying a new tank within next month for the firemouths i got bit of time as all fish apart from
paradise are still small.
