Picked up these bad boys tonight, and they are just settling in to their new home. Any ideas on what type of peacock bass they are?

Top one is about 12", bottom one is about 10", how young are they and about how much larger will they get?
 
Whoah, big boys, good thing they are in a 300 Gallon. Should I even bother with smaller dither fish, or will they most likely end up as a meal...
 
I think they both are monos, and bottom one has better potential of speckles. After 12 inches, they should grow slower, maybe 1.5" / year not sure.
 
The bottom one definitely has more speckles... the larger one in the top pic started changing colors today, going back and forth between shades of blue and green to yellow? Is this a happy dance or does he not like something?
