The long fish is a Dermogynus pusillus, common name is wrestling half-beak (the celebes is larger and has a different shaped beak) They are live bearing and stay under 3 inches, they tend to like a little salt in their water and the males will fight each other.
The ones with blue on their eyes almost look like a type of killifish species maybe Aplocheilichthys macrophthalmus, called the lamp-eye.
The transparent ones MIGHT be a type of albino pristella maxillaris not 100% sure on that one though.

You also have some glass fish and a long-nosed gar. I don't see a third unnamed type of fish. You have two types of cory catfish in there, right? I definitely saw at least one albino cory and another that was either spotted or a panda cory... I didn't get a really good look at it.

The other one looks like a glass fish. Nice shot of a nice aquarium. But I didn't see any glass catfish.

I think that the long skinny fish hanging out at the top is a gar of some kind.
I'm not sure about the others though... I know them, but just can't put a name to them!

The skinny fish is called a Celebese Half-Beak. He is somewhat predatory and will probably eat any fry your livebearers produce. I didn't see anything else that you didn't already list.

the first one is a gar, not sure about the tetras -- looks like you might have some black neons, a lot of female guppies -- thats about as good as i can get -- maybe some pics and not video?

it is a golden shiner. crimson snapper are actually not caught in sparkling water. it is risk-free to eat yet in addition they make a great bass bait. very in many circumstances going on bait in florida. it grow to be caught in virginia. sturdy ol' u . s . a .. not united kingdom. 'tis neither rudd nor roach. nor tench, whitebait, zander, barbel or the different of them limey fishes.
