What other fishes would go with this Chichlid?

Look what i found. I want to start my own aquarium, a small one rather since I live in a condominium unit and there are rules about how big tanks are. I wanted to get fishes that would be really easy to take care of at the same time make my tank look colorful with fishes. I was browsing through some images in the web and found the strawberry peacock.

Aulonocara sp. (Strawberry Peacock)

I just want to know what other type of colorful fish would go with this? I don't want them killing each other. Sorry, just a newbie with aquariums and I need good advice on what to get.

Here's another one I want to get.

I don't know if they'll go well. I'm thinking that if they sound alike they could probably go to the same family. Experts...help?

i would stick with only peacocks if you go that route... how small is small though? youre going to need a decent sized tank for these guys, i would go no smaller than a 40g...

I'd go with at least a 55, personally.

I have one in a 90 gallon with one yellow lab and three red zebras. Everyone's getting along fine and they're not fighting or anything. That's about all the experience I have with these though. The one I have is fairly non aggressive. Not sure if that's just cause she's a female or if that's the norm for this species
