Comments: Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei" feeds on algea that have grown on wood. This is a popular cichlid in the hobby because of its gentile temperament, great monomorphic colors, and its tendency to swim in the top half of the aquarium (which is unusual for mbuna). Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei" is also avalable in a "White Tail" variation.
