#1- PUMPKIN SEED I THINK MAYBE
#2- COMMON BLUE GILL MAYBE
#3-GREEN SUNFISH MAYBE
#4-SHINER OF SOME SORT
#5-SUCKER OF SOME SORT

The scales of the shiner don't look very irregular though...at least to me.

I'll take a guess at these...
#1 Longear (Lepomis megalotis)
#2 Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus
#3 Green sunfish Lepomis cyanellus
#4 Striped shiner Luxilus chrysocephalus
#5 Central Stoneroller Campostoma anomalum
These ID's are off the hip and better photos would be needed to be sure.

I think you nailed it, Uland. I agree with all of these ID's. I think the head on the shiner is too deep for Lythrurus and just right for Luxilus. The mouth on the Stoneroller is the giveaway.

I thank you and all of the other peeps for the time you have spent
i lost 1- 3" shiner before i was able to get back home and
readuse the total # of fish in my new tank it looked sickly anyhow
some kind of white funges on it face. my water temp stays around 70deg
i have a heater should i use it? the fish feel much warmer to me then when i caught them
anyhow these are the most common fish around here in the little creeks we catch with a fishingpole
i will set up some 2 litter pop bottle traps to try and get some of the smaller minnows we have 3 kinds of small
brightly colored 1.5" long minnows in the area i think one of them is the red belly dace.
thanks again for all of the help.
IM JUST A MAN THAT LIKES TO FISH AND WAS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO LET MY BAIT DIE ANYMORE
IT LOOKS LIKE I FOUND A NEW HOBBY AND ITS NOT BEEN CHEEP I WENT FROM 5 gal bucket
and a 55 gal drum to A 1100$ set up inside.

Looks like #5 is a Central Stoneroller. Try giving it some flake food with Spirulina. Also, I haven't met many cyprinids that would turn down blood worms and mysis shrimp.
