Hard to say with those little pics, but it's definitely a Malawian mbuna type. (not even close to a red devil )

When I googled on "Golden Malawi" it comes up with Melanochromis auratus. It's definitely not that fish either.

I would have to guess a Red Zebra X some sort of peacock (likely a fish from the A. stuartgranti complex... One of the yellow ones...)

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon
(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
