Here is another aloe that I need help with. Love when they are labeled ALOE VERA.

Here is ANOTHER lovely specimen labeled ALOE VERA. I am hoping that I can ID them correctly. As a novice they sure look alot alike.

The 1st looks like Aloe congolensis.
If it didn't have spots, I'd say the 2nd was Aloe barbadensis (vera), but who knows?
If they bloom, would help to figure out IDs.

And you might consider (in fact, I highly suggest it) make your soil more porous with granite chips/pumice/perlite - your plants' long-term health would be most improved by you doing so.

Thank you for the soil tip..so less soil more perlite

For your succulents = same advice for soil - as mentioned on your other thread by wantonamara, same as cactusmcharris mentioned above: granite chips/pummice/chunky perlite/chicken grit/dry stall/turface - any of these is a good amendment to a soil mix - whichever you can get in your area.
Potting mix in above photos looks like 100% peat with a tiny bit of perlite in it - not good at all (not even for other houseplants).
Just in case you can't readily find above additives, perlite will help & that is sold in many stores (Wall mart, Home depot, Lowe's and any garden center/greenhouse). Perlite from small bags should be sifted to get rid of dust and get bigger chunks. It is good idea to rinse it before mixing. Mix it at least 50/50 with cactus&succulent soil - this will be much better than peat they are in right now..
Don't use sand as additive, and don't use rocks on the bottom of the pot. Make sure the pot has drainage hole.

Give your plants lots of light & sun - if you can put them outside for the summer, even better. If in apartment, find best window for them.

If you are serious about growing succulents (& you probably will get many more soon:-) - try to read about different mixes for them. You can search this site for ideas, plenty of info available (use search box in right top corner of the page).

First one looks to me like Aloe dorotheae, second like a young Aloe vera (young ones tend to be spotted), and third I don't know, but it's not Aloe vera.
