Peacock bass are pretty cool fish. Hopefully me answering this will spark some other people who are more knowledgeable than I to help you out also! From my experience and my families experience peacock bass can be kept with its same species (duh), sometimes Oscars if raised correctly but can be hard to do. They can live mostly in harmony with some large cichlids, large catfish, stingrays, and arowanas. Good luck and keep us all updated on what you choose 
There’s far more experienced cichla guys then me here but my opinion is for a forever tank 2ft width is not enough for there size there a super stiff muscular fish most will attain 20” or more in length doesn’t leave much wiggle room. They’d have a fair amount of time in a tank that size if you went the way of a smaller growing species. So long as other fish can’t fit it in there mouth there not overly aggressive. A Petenia splendida in the green morph would do well in a tank that size similar feeding habits.Hey, I have just got a new tank its 6ft l 2ft w and 3ft h
I would like to put in some peacock bass and some other fish not sure what is good to put with them if anyone can help that would be great thx.
I agree with the above, that tank would be a temporary grow out tank. Too small for adults.
Mine out grew that size tank in under a year, starting from 3" fry.

The tank in the photo, was a 220 gal if I remember right, and it was "inadequate within about a year", and that's just with the pair in the tank, no other fish.
so I will keep them in there for a bit but I would like to put a few more fish i was thinking
