I have bred yellow labs and demasoni before. When a female was holding I would move her to her own tank with plenty of hiding places for the fry until she dropped them.

But now I have a large female acei holding. Should i do the same for her? I am just not sure since she is alot larger than labs or demasoni.

Yep, same process with most mouthbrooding cichlids. If she's larger though, make sure the tank is big enough that she doesn't get really stressed out and possibly hurt herself!
