I rescued a bunch of Butterfly fish yesterday but I'm not familiar with these. Can someone identify these?

Thanks,
Photo number 5 has this black guy and I have about 8 of these. They were almost impossible to see so it was difficult to catch them.

These folks are moving to Md and couldn't take them with them so I helped out. Now what to do with them? None of the fish I rescued will be going into my ponds.

I did get a nice 160 gallon stock tank out of this rescue. Perfect for an outdoor Nursery for the fry.
