This one looks like a giant minnow? haha

This one looks like some kind of mudsucker that you can buy at a bait store.

First pic of fish is actually a minnow called Golden Shiner.
Second pic of fish is a sculpin.
 
Goldens can do pretty well in a native tank. I have 3, and they are kind of like sharks - never stop moving, and when they take food from surface, they strike like lightning!
 
dont know the others but the that is a sculpin !! love them..

Ive caught those shiners before while fishing for blue gills. Well i think those are the shiners i catch at 8 mile.
 
I think the sculpin is prickly sculpin, Cottus asper. That's a nice golden shiner. Good luck with your natives!
