I don't know what your water conditions are in terms of pH/hardness, etc. but I'll assume all these cichlids were bred in the same type of water you have, or acclimated to it, so here goes:

Tropheus moorii: no, too aggressive, and need specialized setups

Altolamprologus calvus: maybe, but would not do it.

Geophagus altamira: yes

Neolamprologus brichardi: no, too aggressive

Tropheus sp. Red "Moliro": same as for T. moorii

Geophagus surinamensis: yes, might be worth shot

Heros severus: Yes, seen people do it, just keep an eye

Cryptoheros sajica: maybe, depends on individual fish imo

Thorichthys (Cichlasoma) meeki: maybe, it could work, firemouths sometimes are not too aggressive, but might be too much for the angel

Thorichthys maculipinnis(elliotti): maybe, probably similar to meeki
