Anyways i was wondering at maturity about what is the width of an mbuna i hea length is between 4-6 inches but was just curious about the width?

I don't see any Acei in your pic.

I'm not sure what you mean by the width, are you referring to how thick they get or the height of the fish?

Pic 1, 2 and 4 show the same fish with the orange dorsal fin and it is not an Acei. I'm not sure which species it is as I'm not very good.

Pic 3 isn't clear enough for me to guess.

The larger fish to the left in Pic 1 is either a Central or South America cichlid.

Personally not experienced in Mbuna species. The Cichlid in the #1 pic on the left looks like a Flowerhorn.

The dorsal on your fish is too orange for an acei...try googling red top zebra or jalo reef to see if it is either of those. Or hongi.
