I'll second Bruce's ID on the bluntnose.

As best as I can see (it looks like there's a gradient of scale size) the
sucker looks like a young white sucker.

I'm no help for Dan either... I've never seen a bantam, but bluegill have that
distinct spot on the soft dorsal... But so might bantam.

Subject: NANFA-L-- ID requests

Could someone please check out the unidentified fish photos at:
http://www.nanfa.org/NANFAregions/il_in/june2006/index.html

I'd appreciate if anyone could definitely identify the "blackstripe"
fish (blacknose shiner or blackchin shiner). Also, is that juvenile sucker
really a sucker or some exotic. Note that multiple photos of the
unidenfied fish are displayed. Thanks in advance.

Also, I am seeing an odd species of larva in my outdoor tub. It looks like
a black and white striped caterpillar with a long tail (10x the body length).
When moved into
the indoor tanks, it stays suspended in the water column but with the tip of
the tail-in-the surface.
It's as if the larva are suspended from the water surface by the tip of the
tail (maybe a breathing tube
of some kind?)
