Curious if these are bluegill fry? Crappie? White perch? Caught them in a minnow trap but no minnows. Pond is only 53 degrees so doubt they are from this years spawn.
They mostly look like bluegill to me. The first pictures has a more odd vertical stripe, but still, a bluegill IMO.
EDIT: Maybe not so odd on the first picture.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
You are welcome, and I agree that those fish were probably born last year.
Due to their smaller size, I would guess they're born late summer '23.
