I'm in for this, sounds like fun :). Who wants to give this a try, hint it's an Etheostoma species.

Is this a green hybrid? It's probably about 2 inches long. The black spot at the back of the dorsal fin makes me think it's a green but it's body shape doesn't look slender enough.
 
Probably a hybrid. I've got a Green that same size and he hasn't got blue on the anal fin. As far as body style, mine looks the same.
 
Its a bantam sunfish. Not a hybrid.
 
Did some research and you are spot on, thank you.

My bantams are the largest fish in my tank right now haha.

Looks like a bantam, a nice one at that.
