Pseudotropheus Acei

Does anyone have any experience with these? Says that they swim towards the top and are not that agressive... would they work with my current stock?

75g tank
yoyo loaches
zebra loaches
Odessy Barb

Can you tell me anything about them (real life experiences?)?

Are these fish that go with yellow labs etc? I'm just trying to figure this out!

not that aggressive in "cichlid talk" normally means they're still more aggressive than your average community fish. i keep these and have had some that doesnt bother anyone and some that will pick on other fish. i had a single 3" one in my all male peacock tank and it attacked a much bigger peacock numerous times and eventually kill it. i have a trio in my current peacock tank and they dont bother anyone including each other.

I have 6 in my malawi mbuna tank. Compared to the rest of their tankmates they are quite peaceful But i would not recommend you keep them with the fish you have in your tank. Their water and diet requirements are differant from your current stock and would definitely be aggressive to the barbs if not all your stock,
They are a shoaling fish and should be kept in groups with a higher female to male ratio also they can grow in excess of 7 inches so a large tank is required.
Saying all that they are a stunning fish and look amazing in the correct enviroment
