Psuedotropheus Acei are fairly peaceful fish, as far as African Cichlids go. That is not to say that you can put them in a tank with a Goldfish or Guppy and expect there not to be aggression. However, for cichlids, they are one of the tamest and easiest to maintain.
They normally hang in the upper regions of the tank, although they sometimes venture into the rock caves.
The male Acei is the largest fish I have and one of my favorites. He will eat flakes right off my finger, and is usually the first to come up to the top of the tank, wanting food, when he sees me coming. He's a freekin' eating machine!!!
The female is about 3/4th the size of the male. I believe they breeded once. A while ago I saw the female holding, then discovered some new fry a few days later.
