Can anyone help with naming this one?
Can anyone help with naming this one?
This cichlid was bought at a Petsmart and had no name to it and the associate did not know either. My wife fell in love with this one. It is very colorful as you can see dark blue body with bright yellow dorsal and tail fins. Some times you can see about 7-8 vertical darker lines on its body. It has a twin in the tank that looks just like it. They are both the smallest in the tank but the most aggresive. If any one knows what this is please comment. Thankyou.

Yellow tail Acei. What are the tank mates? Acei are a pretty docile african compared to others, but if you have them in a community tank then I can see why there is aggression.

Thank you all i looked it up online and it is a Yellow tail Acei (Pseudotropheus Acei) im still looking for the other names of its tank mates. Making great progress. i will post them all soon.

What I mean by that question Jay is whether they are African cichlids or just some other community type fish like tetras, barbs, South American cichlids, etc.
