Top and bottom right look like spotted/florida (need some confirmation on that). And the left one looks like an alligator
 
so does it look more like a florida or a spotted? or is it hard to tell?
 
I'm gonna guess they are florida since they were store bought. But there's no way of knowing 100%.

There's one way to tell. Measure the front of the eye to the rear of the gill plate. If that distance is greater than 2/3 the snout length then it's spotted. If less than 2/3 the snout length then I'd say it's a Florida.

But that requires a lot of handling of the fish and most won't do it.

We're there more than 3 pics DrB? I see 3 on my phone app. There maybe site issues.
