I'm also running a 55g with a variety of african cichlids in it. That blue one with the yellow fins could be a pseudotropheus acei. Hard to tell from this video. I guess it could also be metriaclima greshakei (considering you have other metriaclimas in there).
Have you considered possibly switching to a pellet food?
An easy way to tell the difference between the acei and the greshakei is to look at the mouth. A very small, almost "petite" mouth means an acei. Larger one belongs to greshakei, as greshakei are omnivore.
1X Pleco ( I know I will have to re-home him once he gets bigger.)
1XMelanochromis auratus
2XMetriaclima estherae
1XMetriaclima lombardoi
1X I am not quite sure what species he is, he has a blue body with yellow fins?
I am going to be getting more as time goes on here. I can't just go out and get like 10 right now because I will have an ammonia spike. I get 1 about every 1 or 2 weeks.
Looking good =)
