You might recall, Zack, that I recommended white tail acei to you!!!!!!!!!!!
No, white tails are Ngara, which are also black, these weren't easy for me to find, but glad I did :thumbup:

I think Itungi and Ngara are the same variety of "acei":
The shoreline at Itungi is sandy and swampy and the nearest rocky habitat is either across the lake south of Matema or straight south near Ngara (http://www.cichlidae.com/locality.php?id=267&content=profile#content)
So likely (originally) collected in Ngara and brought to shore in Itungi.
Nice fish either way! Tony's got a breeding group of lunkers...

They blend in almost perfectly with their surroundings. Maybe that is why they are hard to find.

I have white tail acei from Tony. This is a very great fish. Extremely attractive, but very mild. I have a whole colony in a 45 with labs, synos and one peacock and everything is cool.
