I was looking through the list of Mbunas on cichlid-forum.com and saw the Cynotilapia sp. "Lion" (Lion's Cove). I liked how it looks and think it would go well (color wise) with my P. Aceis in my tank and posisble Rusty cichlids. (if I get them).

I tried finding information on them but I havent had any luck. I will keep looking but thought I would try asking you guys if you know anything about this specie.

I have found out that it is a dwarf mbuna that reaches a max of 4 inches. The male is the colorful out of the two sexes and the female does not have much color.

What do I need to know about this specie that is different than other Mbunas?
How widely available are they?
Would they mix well with P. Acei and Rusty cichlids?

Thank you
 
They are not aggressive, fairly common & available online. Would work well with the others you mentioned.
