Rescued Mbuna - Need ID

[NotoriousSway]

I got this off of a guy who gave it to me since he thought it was sick. He just sits on the bottom or swim vertically against the glass, I guessing its a swim bladder problem. Does any one know what type of Mbuna this is? I think I know, but I wanted to make sure.

Also, here is several more pics here:

Interesting, if I had to guess I would say [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Pseudotropheus acei Ngara. I could be wrong though

i have to say it is metriaclima Callainos .. and from the looks of it.. i would say it has been bullied and beaten up more likely then swim bladder.. the tail is all shredded etc.. stress from this can make them lathergic and just linger there.. i have seen many in worse condition recover so i hope for the best for this guy..

After looking at some google images I think you guys are right, [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Pseudotropheus acei Ngara. Hopefully he will get better and make a full recovery, I like the big guy.

Thanks!
