Good work! As Hulon stated...higher temp is neccesary for juvie cichla. Good to hear he got eating. Live black/tubifex worms is a good alternative to guppies. The fish hammer them and they can live for quite some time as long as you keep them clean. Since your feeding bloodworms you should start crushing pellets into the mix so they develop a taste for them. And gradually up the amount of pellets. Eventually they will be eating nothing but pellets.

I would have to figure it out with the pellets smashing them into the Little packets of them but i will find a way. But then i did notice something funny i saw the same fish that was picking and choosing food now swims around the tank and then suddenly comes to a stop and then just falls slowly to the bottom of the tank and sits there with his fins up and does not move until one of the other fish come and chases them away. Idk what this could mean but the Peacock bass goes and sits in the corner where there is a flat spot and seems to sit there. Could this be spawning behavior because last night they were all picking on one another one in general was chasing them all away from one fish.
 
At 2"-3" Your pbass are too small to spawn. Peacocks are like a bunch of kindergardeners, rough housing chasing playing. They all have their unique personalities.
