Nice to see another native setup!
 
looks like green sunfish.

Nice set-up though!

when they get bigger you may want more, and bigger rock caves/formations. and in that tank i could really see it goin together well.
 
Nice tank!

I can say definitively that that is NOT a green sunfish.
It doesn't look like a bluegill to me either. I'm stumped because it doesn't really seem to fit any specific sunfish, perhaps it is a hybrid? It kind of looks like it COULD be a juvenile pumpkinseed. How big is it and where did you get it?
 
i pulled them out of my minnow trap from a stream up the street there probably around two inches i just got two more out of the stream today they all seem to be getting along from what i can see i live in ct

Ah, that is tiny.
I know it's not a green because they're everywhere here and I've kept several juveniles and adults. I won't completely rule out a bluegill but it honestly doesn't look like one to me, the mouth is too small and the fins and body shape don't like right to me.
If anything I'd say it looks like a baby pumpkinseed.
