Ruby red (Aulonocara rubescens), looks nice and bright.

How big is the fish, those fins look unusually long, like it's been hormoned or something.

It's about 3 inches.
I had one of those, he was a jumper. It was pretty creepy when he died, his spots still stayed bright orange. He looks great though. Good luck to you.

Eureka red Peacock...
Looks alot like my albino Eureka red peacocks
Yep Aulonocara 'Sunburst'/'German Red'/'Eureka'.
You see them called all of these - they are a man made colour morph (from Germany I believe), not found in the wild - very pretty fish though. I have found them to be an aggressive peacock, otherwise management/husbandry is as per Aulonocara species generally.

Yes my dominant male just killed two sub adult males and two julidochromis in the past week.
