yeah I can think of any that are that shape that would have bars. Must be bluegill
cant*
 
im just going to say bluegill cuz just the other day i was dipnetting and caught some small bluegills and they looked just like these
 
I'll be the one to go out on a limb and say SMB. I say this due to being darker in the most recent pic, having stripes (They do as babies) and being more elongated than bluegill.

No way is it a smb.
I would say bluegills.
 
They are definitely Lepomis, but I don't think they are bluegills. The bands don't look right. Hard to get a better ID without fish in hand, though. I guess you'll just have to grow them out for us, Wiggles! :D
 
I moved them to a bigger tank; there's no way I'd put them all in the bowl except for maybe when I have to clean the larger tank.

Update: Here's a clearer pic of the fish; they are all at the bottom because I took it last night.
