Have you tested your water?
No
If I did not test my water...
  1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.
Do you do water changes?
Yes
If I do not change my water...
  1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.
How do I take care of these guys?

More info
3 baby fish
1 catfish
They were all caught in traps but catfish find were a little caught up but no damage
They were caught in a moderately polluted River
Don’t tell me that the catfish will the fish (IK)
Tank is a 29 gallon cycled for about and week and a half with much added bb at setup

what do I feed them?
 
While everything in there is pretty much indestructible, consider the fact that everything in there has the potential to hit 12-15". Be prepared to provide space and clean water. Other than that they'll eat just about anything and don't need heat. Your pumpkinseed is also (at least) half green sunfish by the way.

Edit: just saw your new post, 29 will not be good enough long term. Bullhead won't eat sunfish that big though.

They are maybe about 1-2 maybe inches and he’s maybe 6-10 inches
 
Tbh idk 100% what they are that’s just what my research tells me
You have 2 bluegills and a pumpkinseed/green sunfish hybrid, bullhead still shouldn't be able to eat them at that size
I think
90% chance
