1) tgars
2) tgars
3) tgar
4) cubans
5) cuban, and the one in the back, tgar
6) longnose, and i'd say spotted
7) shorty
8) bunch of shorties
9) florida
10) i see tgars, spotted/florida (don't know which), and can't tell the rest
11) longnose
12) 1st impression from the pic i wanted to say croc I, but its probably cuban.
13) and the same longnose...
note: i can't really tell between spotted and florida with any significant accuracy, but i know its one or the other lol

I'm going to go out on a limb and rethink a few answers...
3 is still throwing me off and could be any of the atractosteus...eventually, I would be interested in knowing if there is a way to differentiate between the three with this same view of all of them...
are 7 and 8 the same species?? although 7 is quartering away, I want to say he is a shortnose. Even #8 seems a bit odd...and could also possibly be a shortnose?!?
picture 10 is also a bit deceiving. there is a definate Spotted gar, and all of the rest seem to be of the atractosteus family. Being that I only have one tropical gar to compare to I am wondering if any of these are in fact trops. Pattern is nothing to go by, but the fact that the bottom of their jaws appear patternless makes me think they are not all tropicals. The one I thought was cuban (the largest in this pic) looks to be either tropcial or alligator. This is all great proof that you cannot go by pattern.
This is just my thoughts right now...

This pretty much nailed it with a couple wrong. You got the special ones dead on..But then you already knew Irving so good advantage there

cuban
cubans
cuban
spotted/florida w longnose at the back
shortnose
longnose
spotted/florida

first and last are longnosed
the second is hard. the nose looks long but the lower jaw's really broad. so im going with cuban

is he #9?KaraJo;1521631; said:
3 is very tricky and can be at this angle any Atractosteus but with a close eye you can get it to exact species.
7 and 8 is an example of something I have stated before...Variation in locality..Your seeing the same fish from localities separated by a few hundred miles.. Purposely took the pics under weird lighting also.
10 is just super tricky and whomever gets at exact composition rocks..(Solomon you can't say)
