I used to see this in my former favorite pond, but I couldn't figure out if this is any kind of shiner or a baby bass.

Mm, fried dace with salted black beans!  Oh this isn't the obscure ethnic comfort food thread?  Sorry about that...

With a nice chianti!

It's not a black nose dace.  They're a stream fish, not a pond or lake fish, and they're not found west of the  Mississippi .  It's some sort of shiner.  Your local fish and game commission could probably tell you what sort of shiner/minnow they are.

Which part of the country???

May be able to find some answers on https://www.roughfish.com/species. It’s not an extensive list by any means but it’s a good place to start

I did to the the extend where i stretched out from CA wildlife to Arizona.
I find wildlife.ca.gov wasn't really that comprehensive (unless I miss something) - the only relevant article I found were just about black bass and some other species that are either native or non-native, invasive or non-invasive.

Didn’t check the profile, my bad 

 

did you identify it yet? 

[Bluebasser86]

Did someone stock/manage it? 

 

Fathead minnows can have a black stripe on their side and are often used to supplement the food supply in ponds/lakes.

Nice one. Some look to be "Arroyo Chub".

it is a public pond - actually, a water body in a "dog" park.

 

Park is organized by the county. There have been major park overhauls around the city to deal with very poor park hygienes.

 

I don't think the pond itself is designated for fishing, so information for that is very limited. Also, who even fishes in the middle of the most cogested city (me )?

All are POSSIBLY the young of the LMB staying guard at the nest site.  That sunfish is trying to decide to risk a attack on the kids in the neighborhood.
