Look up auratus... They are yellow, but if they are a female they they turn blue... But that could take weeks, so its probably just stressed.

You need to relocate those guys Unless you like watching cichlids tear each other to shreds. Those guys WILL kill every last fish in that tank...

Call your lfs, just say you got the wrong fish, and you would like to return it or get store credit. Rehome the peacock and just get more zebras or rusties or something

But ideally cichlids require a bigger tank than a 40 breeder, i would wait and get a bigger tank personally...
