Description

The Yellow Tail Acei is one of the most peaceful mbuna and can be housed with less aggressive African cichlids. It can fight when it needs to though and also fits in well with more aggressive fish.

Common Name: Yellow Tail Acei, Acei
Geographic Origin: Lake Malawi, Africa

How many?: These fish are harem breeders and can be slightly aggressive towards members of their own species. It is advisable to keep 2-3 females per male. You can keep multiple males in a tank as long as there are enough females to keep them occupied and enough room in the tank.
Diet: Herbivore - we suggest pellet foods such as NLS Cichlid Formula with treats of algae or spirulina.
