Anyone know what these are? Some sort of shiner maybe? Please let me know if need better or different pics and I will try to get them.

Only one of them has a red belly.

Thanks!

I believe your mystery minnows are Northern Redbelly Dace.

Thanks! I was just reading now that the males only have the redbelly during breeding season. Guess that's why I have only one with a red belly.

You're welcome. Be sure to feed them lots of greens (boiled minced peas, algae, etc).
