Those would be Labidochromis caeruleus, often called yellow labs or electric yellows. They are an african mbuna cichlid.

You could check the TFF fish index, they are listed here:

Nice fish, I have some. Make sure you account for their size and temperment before getting them.

Not much options really except other african cichlids because of the water perametes they need. Pop over to the afrcian cichlids help for a better response. Here is a website to give you some help on fish they go with.

All the malawi cichlids.
Also here is some information on how their tank should be:
