first one not sure guess at it jag

second one gonna be nice looking when it grows out some

If they have more of those feeders I would go back and buy them
 
1st guess on the 1st pic would be a jag, but the pic does make it hard to identify. And on the second pic, I have to agree with ExoticGreen, it looks like some sort of sunfish without knowing too much about sunfish, myself. I would hold onto it though, it has a nice coloring around outside of the fins and tail....NOT like any sunfish I have seen.

1st fish is a jag and 2nd is a perch. You can catch them in louisiana and other southern states.:headbang2

I catch perch all the time & they look nothing like that.

First one looks like a Jag to me aswell.
 
i would say definitly a baby jag..very cute
 
I would say the second picture looks like a Green Sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus).
