Top is definitely a flier. If you don't want it, don't forget about me! :-D

The sunfish in the last pic looks like either a juv. or female redbreast. Need a better pic though.

The darter with the sunfish in the last pic and in the background of the middle pic look like blackbanded darters. The darter up front I'm not sure. Maybe a swamp darter??

The sunfish in the second pic, I honestly can't tell. I need a better pic from the side.

I do see a flier.
The rest of the pics are not worthy. Any more, and I would be guessing.

That is definitely not a dollar. On the operculum, you can see two blueish-white stripes leading into the "ear" on each side. That's one of the key identification characteristics for those fish. It becomes apparent at a small size (1"), making them easy(at least for me) to identify. Also, the vertical bars are the same as on a redbreast. The males are beautiful fish, which, in my opinion, are second only to the various subspecies of dollar and longear sunfish.

How big is it? Looks like a female, and if that's the case, I'll take it, since I can only seem to catch males. Wow, I feel like I'm taking all of your fish. Stop me if you want. :grin:

It could be either banded or bluespotted. I'm leaning a little bit towards bluespotted. I think bandeds have close and broader "bands" on them.

The upfront darter looks like a tesselated darter. The Enneacanthus is a banded sunfish.
