I believe these are freshwater fish. The top one is a bluegill or pumpkin-seed I think? The fish in the second photo is about 1.5 to 2 inches in total length. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The first one looks like a bluegill to me. The second one is definitely a bleeding heart tetra. :D
 
The top is a Green-Eared Sunfish. They can get about 5-10 inches and are extremely territorial. I had one that would attack just about anything including oscars twice it'size. In the wild they stake out large territories and chase anything that comes near it.
