I'm new to the hobby and wanted to confirm the breed of fish I have. The previous owner said the gold fish was a salvini, and the blue a Texas Blue cichlid. However, when I looked around the internet the gold fish doesn't look like any pictures of salvinis I have found. Thoughts on what breed of fish this is? I appreciate any information.

Looks like a Amphilophus Labiatus species Red Devil.
 
Yes, I'd call it a red devil (Amphilophus labiatis), though it'll 99.99% likely actually be a red devil/midas mix like most are these days.

Actually looks pure to me but obv can't be sure
