If it helps ,they had a dark pattern going “maybe from defending their beds” the same fish later turned a lighter color and removed its fighting stripes.  
Thanks though!

Edit: Got a still shot from the video[;)]

Well after googling it I lean towards the red ear sunfish and the baring because of the nesting.
