Top one is some kind of loach - though could be a some kind of Darter Tetra not sure? In the second pic the larger ones with red tails and blue bodies are columbian tetras the ones with the black line on their body are Black Widow Tetras I think I can see some glowlight tetras in the background and I am not really sure on the one with the black eye? Could be an xray tetra?

Thanks.. The top one is mine I absolutely love him and really want to know what he is, the bottom photo is my brother's fish that he has asked me to identify, particularly the one with the black eye
 
The one with a black eye i think is known as a Yellow Phantom Tetra? The black eye might be a genetic thing... im not sure on that one...

The catfish i think might be a species of Homaloptra or lizard fish/lizard loach?
 
Albino X-Ray Tetra for the mystery one with the black eye?Or perhaps the "blushing" VARIANT?
 
^^ you got it!

The others are easy, red platy, 2 x columbians, 2 x black phantoms the tail end of a cory and what looks like glowlights

Homaloptera smithii ?

That looks like him!!! :D however, im slightly annoyed. He was sold to me as a cold water plec... think i will boycott my LFS in future I keep getting bad advice and fish that are not suitable.

I am made up to know what he is now thankyou
