Hi and welcome to the forum :)

Which country and state do you live in?
Do you live in a rural area or suburbia?

They look like a cichlid but could be something else, like a perch.
 
Ok thanks. In my opinion, they look like small cichlids (I doubt they are) so I’m assuming it’s a small species of sunfish. They’re in one of my tanks now. I’ll keep you updated
 
They are sunfish- they look like greens or bluegills. Sunnies are neat aquarium fish, but check your state fishing regulations about keeping them. They are generally regulated as game fish.
