They used to be called Pseudotropheus acei but are now known as
Gephyrochromis acei. They're very uncommon in my part of Canada but are
definitely a beautiful fish, I have the yellow-tail variety.


I know the Psuedotropheus acei were listed by Konings as similar to the
Gephyrochromis species, but I didn't know they'd actually changed genus.
Thanks for the info.
The acei differ from many of the other Mbuna. The black ones with the yellow
fins are from Ngara. They hang out in an area with a sandy shore and hang
out in large schools. They eat algae growing on tree branches overhanging or
fallen into the water.
