I am curious if anyone can tell me more about this particular cichlid. I also have female, which looks like a baby large mouth bass. I got both of them at Petland a couple of months ago. They had the tank labeled "peacock cichlids". I googled images of peacocks but can not find any with even similar coloration. Any ideas what I have here? They are about 2.5 inches long at this point. Still pretty young.

Thanks for the help! After googling your suggestions and looking at several pics, I'm leaning towards the red back scraper.
 
I have a peacock that look almost exacly like those ones. On the label when i bought them said red by blue peacock cichlids. Mine are young too, so maybe thats what they are. Dont google it though nothing comes up.
