48 is some manner of catfish. 47 appears like it could be a rhom, but because you can't see the orange fins you can't tell that it is in fact an S. marginatus.
Who owns 30? BEAUTIFUL! I picked 46 because he looks like he's accessing the situation, like he is looking for his escape route or something It's very creative,
But pics. 7,10,12,13,17,29,30,48 all look like they captured their fishes personalities or something they show character more then just a picture.....
13, 30, were my favs...... who is the owner of 30?

Its some type of toad fish, Not sure what one, but its not a catfish and it is can be brackish.
BATRACHOIDIDAE SP??
-EDIT- After looking around I figured it out. Its a Freshwater Stonefish or Freshwater Lion Fish, they go by both.
Its Batrachus trispinosus
A brackish water fish from northwest aus, that grows 12". All of the toadfish cousins are venomous to some extent. We do not recommend the finger test to find out just how venomous these rascals are. Experience is the best teacher, but it’s also the most painful and sometimes the most expensive. Let’s just say you’d best not touch your stonefish (and net him carefully). Freshwater stonefish or whatever they call them in your neck of the woods come from tropical areas where rivers flow into the ocean (estuaries). This means they live in brackish water. When the tide goes out, they live in freshwater. When the tide comes in, they live in river water mixed with ocean water (brackish water). They are flexible little beasts.
