I have a 3 to 4 inch peacock cichlids and I was wondering if they could live with a 5 inch pseudopimelodus bufonius

That information was from a reliable source. The member stated it could eat a fish half it's size.
I had a small 3" Amazon Bumblebee catfish that swallowed a 2" Redbelly Piranha many years ago.

Do you think I could divide the tank with a divider

No don't risk losing your African Peacock cichlids.
