Be patient on the bumps. Your thread was posted in the middle of the night for most of the CCA.

Can't help on the ID...

Looks like a game fish found in Mexico and Florida and other warm water places. If it is it grows to 30 or 40 inches or bigger.

I suspect it needs to grow a bit before you will be able to tell what species it is.
From WIKIPEDIA :
There are 15 known species of peacock bass and two more ichthyologists have yet to name. Their common names vary greatly depending on the country, region, stage of development and local anglers. Below is a complete list of the taxonomic, binomial names for these cichlids, along with four English common names.[1]

• Cichla intermedia (royal peacock bass)
• Cichla jariina
• Cichla kelberi
• Cichla monoculus
• Cichla melaniae
• Cichla mirianae
• Cichla nigromaculata
• Cichla ocellaris (butterfly peacock bass or butterly peacock cichlid)
• Cichla orinocensis
• Cichla pinima
• Cichla piquiti
• Cichla pleiozona
• Cichla temensis (speckled peacock bass, but three-barred peacock bass while spawning)
• Cichla thyrorus
• Cichla vazzoleri

The two species without taxonomic names are the Rio Travessao peacock bass and Rio Paru peacock bass.
