Here is a what i believe to be a Acei. It's about 3''. I purchased at petco for $5.49 . Their is also a few pics of my Ice blue zebra #5,#6, some of my yellow labs and the front face of a jewel in pic.#2. I know, their is a firemouth in their with the Africans. It was the first cichlid i had in ever in that tank though. The Acei looks better looking when not in motion, as when his top fin is raised up.

I think thats an Acei. Lookin at some websites, they make me wonder. I think male Ice blues have some red on top like the last two pics of my other fish. So i'll asume my new fish is an Acei intill proven otherwise.

nice looking fish
 
Thanks guys. The tank is nothing fancy.
So now as far as cichlids go, i have 1 Acei male, 3 yellow labs, 1 rusty, 1 ice blue, 1 young Red zebra(i think), 1 Jewel, and 1 firemouth. The firemouth may removed later on as the fish grow. I also have a tiger barb that has been in tank for a long time. It even chases one of my yellow labs around. It's been in their longer than the cichlids. No place to put him right now.
May add a few more. May find a few common colorful africans that arent any more aggressive than i have now.
