Figuring out what cihlids I have is tricky. My LFS isn't very good
about labeling the species. I bought a 'yellow cichlid', an 'orange
cichlid', and few 'assorted cichlids'.

Tankmates for your cichlids is going to be based largely on what species of
cichlids you have.
Your yellow cichlid may be a Labidochromis caeruleus. The orange cichlid can be
any number of things from a Neolamprologus leleupi to a Pseudotropheus saulosi
female. You need to ID your cichlids.
If you had something like German Rams, they could coexist with a number of
tropical fish happily. Most Mbuna, like the ones you most likely have, get along
with very few other non-cichlids. This also depends on tank size.
Look through some sites, ID your fish. ;-)
Here's an article you can read if you get bored.
