Could it be a pug nose minnow (Opsopoeodus emiliae)

top one looks like a creek chubsucker, no clue about the other. Just wanted to give you a heads up, if you are catching them yourself, try to I.D. any fish prior to taking them, you don't want to end up taking some kind of endangered species or something that is illegal to harvest in that method.
 
They are back in the river, I only kept them for 2 days so I could ID :) thanks.
