While feeding bluegills I see a pair of black fish, maybe 2 inches long with two wide orange vertical bands in 6 inches of water. Couldn't get a useful photo. Appealing looking.
I didn't stock anything like this and google isn't popping up a fish. To me it is a combination of a black mollie and a clown fish.
My overflow has never run, and my watershed is forest, no bow or creek.
Anybody heard of such critters?

Here is the best photo. The two black fish facing us in the central depression. Surrounded by minnows, with cnbg slightly offshore. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SsXaJvP7GWppwqTr6

i can't make anything of the picture, but it is probably fathead minnows. they have colored bands on them during mating season. i freaked out when i first saw mine, i thought it was some type of tropical fish like you mentioned.

Scott. This makes sense. When I look at images of mating color fatheads, they are in the ballpark. I'm surprised I don't see more. Here is pic of a male fathead in breeding form. https://goo.gl/images/fVPuQD
