Juvenile id help?: sold as kelberi

[fish nerd 84]

I just picked up 5 baby peacock bass about 3inches sold to me as kelberi. I checked the Id sticky and I’m not 100% sure, they look different.

Definitely not kelberi. Tems or azuls I’m leaning more towards azuls but not 100% sure

I'm guessing azul as well.

Peacock Cichla for sure.

For those who said azul or tems I can confirm they are most certainly azul. I’m seeing transparent blue in all of thier pectoral fins and tail fins now.

I was told they were eating rosy red when I got them, but I noticed they were throwing up what loooked like frozen krill. They seem to not be able to digest the shell. But I’m pleased to say after the first day, I got one of them eating pellets. Then the next day they all ate. Easiest bass I have ever had to get on pellets.
