Help Me Identify These Fish?

[Trevelyn1015]

I caught them in a creek, in Huntsville, Texas...

With a net, as the current pushed them by.

What are they?

think #2 could be a shad?

#1 could be a redbreast sunfish?

 

[Lateral Line]

Fish 1 looks like some kind of Centrachid, the Sunfish group, perhaps Lepomis gibbosus, the other looks like a Cyprinella species, a shiner of some kind, but I don't really know.

Try browsing NANFA's site.

#1 is a pumpkinseed perch

#2 is a shiner

Cool pics Man....that turtle is cute....won't he start snapping on your fish though Which lake did you catch this guys from

 

[Trevelyn1015]

he is less than an inch and a half long...

he just eats turtle pellets and fish flakes right now...

i caught them all in a little pond close to my college...

i caught the pumpkinseed and shiner in a local creek...

all were caught with a net.

For fish #1 I think I can see a scarlet edging on the gill flap, agreeing with the pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus).

For fish #2 because of the decurved lateral line I believe to be a redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus). Another shiner that has a decurved lateral line is the golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas) but my picture of the golden has a sharper fork in its tail.

Must be nice having a pet store in your back yard. I'd only catch Coney Island White Fish the way things are around here .

BLUEGILL! I used to go up to Lake Mead when I was a little kid and I'd snag these things and think of armoring their fins and making a little helmet for them out of tinfoil to create Super Blugill!!! Fortunately for the fish, it didn't get much farther than a thought. Anyway, nice stuff.
