I'm not an expert, but based on the square spot on the base of the tail, I would have to say they look like Tennessee shiners. The fish in the third pic looks a bit different though.

My guess on the 3rd pic is a washed-out rosyside dace: scales look smaller than shiner scales. I cant see the mouth, but it should be large and steep-angled. Watch for trace of pink just behind the gill cover. A good meal usually brings back the color.
