Bought him from the African Cichlid tank and thought he was an electric blue but having doubt's now. What do you think? Has spots like a venustus as well as faint vertical stripes. My white tail acei is chasing it all around but it won't head into any of the caves I made, it just hangs out at the top of the tank.

Looks like a hybrid of some sort, what size tank do you have?

 

[kay-bee19]

That's a juvenile cyrtocara moorii ('malawi blue dolphin'), a type of hap.

The youngsters will display black blotches occasionally (usually when in a submissive mood).

They get larger than most mbuna's and max out at about 8" to 9"
