I don't know much about Peacock Bass, but it looks like Cichla temensis. Someone else will confirm or correct this .

Could go either way, looks similar to the images of a juvenile peacock bass. Like I said, I've never kept these guys, so I don't know too much about them. What kind of set up are they in?

They'll need a upgrade soon. Do those rainbows all get along?

Follow up to my "the'll need a upgrade soon" comment. These guys reach 20 inches (when full grown) and can hit 14 inches in a year. They will need like 200+ gallons minimum. They also become extremely aggressive, are you going to rehome or do you have a tank set up for these guys?

Yea they all get along great. One hasn’t been picking on the other at all. And so far the bass are pretty chill as well. But yea I understand im going to have to upsize. I have a 15 gallon tank I’m going to sell. And keep my 55 and buy a 120 and throw just the bass in that. And then when they outgrow that I’m gonna sell the 55 and keep the 120 and buy a 200 or 250

Nice. Should work out alright. I would try and go 250 plus, super long and wide, not to tall. Try and make sure they both get fed the same so one doesn't start growing faster than the other. Other than that just make sure you get them the right protein and it should be alright.
