It looks like an Aulonocara, but I don't know which species. I have not seen any peacocks with this coloring. It may be a hybrid, as most peacocks sold in chain stores are.

i agree it is some kind of peacock (note the arrow shape of the fish which is very distinct in peacocks)

looks to be a hybrid to me.
part electric yellow, part blue metriaclima zebra. not saying 100% its a hybrid, but in the hundreds ive seen, the only ones that come close to the one you have are electric yellow hybrids.
