Its very hard to tell pbass at such small sizes, its pretty much a "guess" at that size.. the easiest cichla to i.d at that size IMO would be cichla sp. temensis with the straight vertical line from tip of tail to the nose and a more slender body.. check out the i.d sticky thread above, there maybe some more info there

That is just another name for peacock bass. It could be anything.

"lukanini" is a generic term for pbass in general.
