Sound like longears to me...my fry are only ~1/2" with red eyes & some hints
of bluish metallic color but their bodies are transparent...search for fred
hamilton info on the nanfa website...he raises longears mostly but has a
LARGE collection of sunfishes of all kinds. He's a really great,
knowledgeable guy! (He's helped me out with my first 'litter' of longears
and my 1 day-old nest...

Where did you collect the fry? What local creek? This could help on the id.
