We present a spectrum of experimental data on the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) states in the first excited Landau level, obtained in an ultrahigh mobility two-dimensional electron system (2DES) and at very low temperatures and report the following results: For the even-denominator FQHE states, the sample dependence of the nu=5/2 state clearly shows that disorder plays an important role in determining the energy gap at nu=5/2. For the developing nu=19/8 FQHE state the temperature dependence of the Rxx minimum implies an energy gap of ~5mK.The energy gaps of the odd-denominator FQHE states at nu=7/3 and 8/3 also increase with decreasing disorder, similar to the gap at 5/2 state. Unexpectedly and contrary to earlier data on lower mobility samples, in this ultra-high quality specimen, the nu=13/5 state is missing, while its particle-hole conjugate state, the nu=12/5 state, is a fully developed FQHE state. We speculate that this disappearance might indicate a spin polarization of the nu=13/5 state. Finally, the temperature dependence is studied for the two-reentrant integer quantum Hall states around nu=5/2 and is found to show a very narrow temperature range for the transition from quantized to classical value.
