Assuming your talking about malawi peacocks or mbuna.

Crawfish - maybe, I really don't know...
Frogs - No, mbuna would kill them and they wouldn't get any food.
Turtle - I've never kept turtles but I've seen a red eared slider kept with SA cichlids with success, I guess it depends on the turtle and if the fish are big/fast/smart enough to avoid getting eaten.

Hope this helps.

Crawfish - if there is enough swimming room for fish crawfish will not eat fish and if he is hungry the. He might attack the cichlids.

Dwarf frog- nope African cichlids will eat them!

Turtle- at my ear doctor they have turtles and African cichlids not Malawi though.
Doesn't really sound ridic I ask these questions sometimes!

i dont think a turtle or crayfish is a good idea,and dwarf frogs would be food faster than flakes. depending on the size,the cray could get a few beore it gets eaten. ive heard of red eared sliders and jack dempseys,but i think a large part of that is luck

i have seen a few setups with turtles included. i think it can work but would be quite difficult to maintain and setup. frogs and crayfish i would say definitely not.
