Cichlid Id Please

I`m not very good at ID`s but I`d guess at Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei" http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1460

Not sure about the yellow on the underside though.

I'd agree with nick. Looks like my Pseudotropheus Acei.

I'd agree with nick. Looks like my Pseudotropheus Acei.

Is your Acei Brown Cheffi??

This looks like something else, yes it is Acei shaped, but that looks like a brown fish..

To the original poster - does it look brown in real life or is that just the trick of the camera/light.

Justin, you know mine aren't brown!!! I am guessing the colour hasn't come out quite right on the camera. I can see blue with yellow fins and tail. So it's either a not very good specimen or the light is wrong on camera.

to my naked eye it looks more purple, the camera makes it look dark bluish. Some one said it could by a rusty cichlid (Iodotropheus sprengerae) which get purple hew if fed correctly.

Aurora?

Iodotrophues Sprengerae adult

Somehow the head and body shape don't look right to me.

I would say definately an Acei, just a little camera shy.
