Is This A Acei Cichlid?

Obviously not the red zebra in the pic but the blue one. He has very distinctive black stripes with yellow on his finns, but I dont really think he is an Acei Cichlid, because they dont have stripes do they?

Thanks for your help!

BTW, I had to log into facebook to see the pictures. You would be better off using a photo host like photobucket to allow anyone to just look at pictures that you want to post. Then you could use the IMG coded link to just post the picture here, as I did with this picture of a red tailed goodeid in my tanks.

Hummm possibly a Pseudotropheus fainzilberi? or a Metriaclima zebra? I have seen some with stripes like yours, I am however no expert.

Lovely looking fish though!

He's definatly not an acei. I'd say he's either a Metraclima zebra 'Red top' or a Pseudotropheus elongatus colour varient. Would you say he has a more elongated body compared to your red zebra? Because of how dark his blue is im leaning more towards elongatus. What ever he is he's stunning!
