Can anyone tell me for sure exactly what I have here? My guess was fathead minnow and silver jaw minnow but i'm not real good with minnow/shiner id yet. The first photo is them together and the second is a close up of the one I think is a silver jaw. Thanks a ton! -Aaron p.s. sorry for the poor quality cell phone pics!

I know that you're new and I'm not trying to be rude but this section of the forum requires location at time of post.
At the top you'll see the rule:
Location, at least general location (state, major drainage, etc) is required for any posts in this section. Posts without location will be removed without question.

No need to apologize. It can be difficult to provide an ID of fish with less than perfect photos without location sometimes.
With that said, I can only agree...I see a Cyprinella and Pimephales.

Are you going out and collecting these yourself? If you are, I suggest a Peterson's Field guide. It is very helpful, though I still need to post here from time to time for a really hard to ID fish. You can get one used real cheap from amazon. Check HERE

You have a Spotfin Shiner (Cyprinella spiloptera) and a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales notatus).
