FIRST NATIVES! (ID Please!)

Just makin sure, I've seen more than one person mistake fatheads for largemouth bass.
LOLWUT? I caught a 8 inc largemouth that day... I Know Wht They Look Like:)
 
1 is for sure a crappie...on bluegill there is a small dark spot on the end of the soft dorsal....2 looks like a green sunfish....3 is too hard to tell (bad pic). Bluegill and crappie have very similar markings as young fish. Hope this helps!

THE ONE IS A GREEN SUNFISH (i think)
What Are Others?
ARE THEY CRAPPIE?!?

Pic 1&3 look like juvenile warmouth, the reason I say that is I get them in my area and had to grow some out to see what they were and they turned out to be warmouth. Once they get close to 4 inches those stripes change and they get much more borwn and the face gets horizontal stripes while the body has vertical stripes. I don't know if there are other juveniles that have the same pattern when young. Easiest way to find out is grow them out like I did.

Pic 2 looks like some sort of sunfish but a better profile pic is needed to see the markings on the head.
 
your minnows are creek chubs. they can get up to 12 inches long and make pretty cool pets. i have 2 small ones in a 10 gallon and they will eat anything
