I have 10 of these at 2cm. Are they peaceful fish? Can they be
kept in large groups?

These are one of the larger Mbuna's ( 10 to 15cm ) they are
aggressive and very territorial so depending on the size of your
tank 10 may be way to many

I have a 6ft (390 ltr) tank. I have a kenyi & 2 white albinos
(red eyes) that r extremely territorial. Might be a blood bath
if i try & introduce my acei into that tank. Might try the in my
4ft demasoni tank instead. What u think guys?

Demasoni are just as territorial as the snow whites. What I
would do to introduce them would be to do it when you do a water
change so every fish is under equal stress and are more focused
on the messing with the tank. Move some rocks around so
territory has to be re-established...also adding a little bit of
food to one end of the tank and placing new fish in at same time
at other end of tank. The new fish won't be noticed immediately
so they have a chance to find a hiding spot. I have
successfully introduced several fish and single fish this way
with no issues.
