Can someone identify this fish?
 

My friend got this fish from the river for me. It's about 1.5 inch long.
Would you please take a look and tell me what the fish is if you know.
Tks.

No way. Your fish seems to have two dorsal fins, and topminnow has just
one.

It confuses me, too. So far I didn't see any similar fish with two dorsal
fins.

Baby fish have often different pattern from adult fish. If your fish is a
bass of some kind (no, I'm not familiar with native North American fish and
we don't have bass around here), you can only compare your baby's shape and
finnage to pics of adult, huge fish as the color might be totally
different. The shape of fins might change too but the amount of them never.

And rule number one when asking help to identify wild-caught animals: you
have to tell where it was caught! Your email address suggests Ohio, but can
we be sure that you are actually there and not having a holiday in
Malaysia, for example? The type of water should be told too, like was it a
small creek or a larger river, running swifly or not, up in the mountains
or close to a hot swamp?

I agree. That is not the face of a small fish (as suggested below that it
is a minnow.) If not a bass, it's still a large fish.

Where exactly was it caught, and in what type of water?

Honestly, I now think it's a spotted bass... look here...

Maybe you are right.
Now I don't think they are minnows. I saw one open its mouth very widely.
The whole jaw was open. Maybe just like another say it a little bass. They
are not eating and their bellies are shrinking. I think that I am going to
put them back to the river. They were caught by the river (Olentangy river,
Ohio, http://www.ohiodnr.com/dnap/rivfish/default.htm ) where the water is
shallow and standing.
