Ace inhibitor research

Just found an awesome video on YouTube of Psuedotropheus Acei in the wild - the Itungi or Ngara type, to be specific. At 1:50, there's this huge school of Acei that's just mind-blowing. The way they behave is insane - never seen anything like the nests those Lethrinops build, absolutely crazy.
But what really caught my attention was the school of Acei. It's got me thinking about how I want to keep them in my tank. Has anyone else seen anything like this in a home aquarium? I'm considering dropping my species count to 3 and having two groups of 5 of the other fish, and then a group of 10-12 Acei to keep them schooling.
That video is definitely worth a watch, it's really fascinating.

That video's insane, I've been rewatching it and the Acei school is something else. I'm seriously considering changing my tank plans now, thinking of going with just 3 species and a bigger group of Acei, maybe 10-12, to see if I can replicate that schooling behavior.

Incredible footage. What's the source of their food in the sand, I wonder?

In the sand, you'd be surprised at the variety of tiny creatures living there - bugs, microorganisms, small worms, and snails, all making a home amidst the grains.
