Wondering if anyone that knows the difference between different shiners could let me know if this is a Redfin or not? If not what is it?

I'm no expert but it looks like a small golden shiner to me...

That's what it is, red fins have a more slender body and bright red fins

Shiners or any fish can get red fins when stressed.

Ok how about these anybody know what these two are? Two pics of same species I’d assume just different size.

That bottom one looks like a baby carp to me. If so, you probably don't want to be using those for bait.

Yes the bottom pic looks like a carp or a common goldfish.looks just like the feeder fish i used to get to feed my piranhas.

Yes I won’t be using them just because I don’t know what they are but it’s pretty crazy I was having a bunch of them in traps in a little wild pond
