i'll give others a chance to list some before i post...but i'm confident in all but one of the fishes...the remaining fish i'm pretty sure on the ID but it just looks a little weird (and happens to be cut off, haha...but there are some tell-tale characters that help with the ID).

the clue i would throw out there is that it's definitely a lot of gars, but not necessarily a lot of species :) --

yea im going with Florida Gar cause the pattern looks like a juvenile?
 
here's my answer
1) shortnose (only other possibility i see is longnose, but i'm leaning toward shortnose in this case)
2) cuban
3) cuban
4) florida
5) shortnose
6) florida
7) florida
8) florida
9) tropical
10) longnose

note: i'm honestly not sure what a large fat spotted would look like, so i'm going with all floridas LOL seeing how most in the hobby are florida, especially for 7 and 8 that aren't showing the front half of the body.

take solace in the fact it's almost impossible for everyone..i was planning a cross global heist trip to "the tank" to steal it...but then realised i'd have no way of getting a 25" fish back here alive...:(
dont need to. from what i hear their are some being made in asia. not many and not cheap but apparently they are being made.
