Picked these guys up for 5$ each yesterday. Can I get a positive ID that they are in fact Striped Peacocks?

Their 'beaks look a bit damaged possibly? Not sure if they were like that when I got them or when I moved them in to the Qt tank that had gravel in it. I took the risk and moved them to the larger tank as I was afraid the gravel in the Qt tank was damaging them. All 3 were buried underneath the gravel and decor.
 
striped peacock is what they were sold to me as. i got one. AWESOME EEL. gravel doesnt damage them though. mine was in garavel for years untill he got sand. Had one lived 2 years before pushing up the filter cartradge and swimming into the impeller. dead. he was 12"
