In my backyard there's a canal that runs behind all the houses on my block. There are a lot of different fish in there. Some I'm pretty sure I know the species of, and some I don't. I could use some help identifying the following two fish:

I think the smaller ones are still quite young, but if you can give me some good guesses, please do. Even better if you know exactly what they are.
Thank you in advance.

I live in Central Florida. So I don't think that the water connects with a body of salt water.

The first one is a sunfish. Looks like a blue gill or possibly a red ear. They are from the same family. The others look like minnows of some sort. #2 may be shiners. I can't really tell on the third one though.

You don't say where you are from (general area) that could go a long way in helping to identify these fish. Is the canal fresh water, brackish or salt water fed?
