It looks like they're all Bluegill. Not a good aquarium specimen. I have one and he's one of the meanest fish I've ever had, second only to a Largemouth Bass.

Thanks for the help! They are lavender on the sides, very nice looking fish.

Would not one see a slightly dark area at the above the base at the back of the dorsal fin?
I know that is true for adult Bluegills.
These small guys are way tough to ID.

You can see it on the bottom photo if you look closely. I've had bluegills decide to fade that out once they were in my net, especially the little ones.
