Please Help Identify These Fish

[mtanman]

Hello-

Identifying these fish may help us solve a vandalism against our home and some others in the neighborhood. Along with damage to our home, the vandal(s) dumped approximately 30 fish in our pool. I thought that if I can identify the fish and then call all the local pet stores in our neighborhood and asked if anyone just bought approx. 30 or so of this type of fish then we might have a chance to find out who did this? So, I am attempting to attach a picture of some of the fish that we retrieved so far in hopes that someone can help identify? The longest are approximately 2 inches long.

Thanks so much!!
Mike

if they dumped that large quantity I think they'd probably be something you can buy cheap at a fishmongers, so more likely a 'food' fish than an ornamental that you'd buy at a aquatics shop.

sardines, sprats or something like that?

Mackeral or sardine

Thanks all... we live in Michigan, USA. I was also thinking feeder fish, as I doubt the vandals (likely teens) would likely spend that much cash on an ornamental variety of fish and then just dump them in a pool.
