Definitely not all greens. Green sunfish have longer bodies and larger mouths, plus green squiggle marks on their operculums, and it's evident even in very young fry. I'd say bluegills for both adults, and it's pretty hard to tell with the fry at that size, but maybe pumpkins? Heads look round enough for pumpkins.

Agree with Betta and Fundulus -- those adults are definitely bluegill, and the juvies probably are too. I moved this thread out of "Feeder Tank Finds" and into the "Sunfish" section.
