Sounds like you may have some Bluespotted sunfish, Enneacanthus gloriosus.
These are a dwarf species. Probably will require live food to start.
Chances are that's a hard, alkaline water population as well. That should
make them easier to keep. Nice fish. I have collected them in Hialeah
along Okeechobee road.
