The rescue I work with just got what we were told is a peacock bass by the sister of the fish's original owner and I was wanting to verify that and find out what the species is

That’s a North American big mouth bass. Definitely not South American.

well I was thinking it didn't look like any peacock I had seen so that makes sense plus it was in with a florida gar and black crappie

Which size tank are you going to keep them in?
 
they are being kept in a 75 gallon until adopted the florida gar is 10-12" the 5-6(I don't remember) black crappie are about 5", the bass is about 9" and the white crappie in the other tank is about 4" here is an intank video sorry for the lack of lights
