How's that Auratus doing?
Had any problems with it?

PS. Didn't mean that to sound arrogant, I'm looking to get one and I'm asking your opinion.
 
No problems at all, it's funny I had 2 to start with both the same then one vanished or I thought so but it morphed into what I think is a male, not the prettiest fish now and I call him scruffy boy.

He's the grey fish in the centre. Started out like the other Auratus.

Yeah.. One of my female Red Tops is giving herself a sex change right now...
You can never get bored with the sheer amount of amazing things these fish are capable of.

You think a lone female Auratus could hold her own in an Mbuna tank?

Mine certainly does and got a right bully boy in there but never bothers her at all

The fish at the bottom left in the 2nd picture is the tank boss and chases the rest all over the shop, don't know what it is but deffo número uno in here, the Auratus never has any problem from him tho and had the Auratus for over a year now.

You may have just convinced me there...
Problem is that you hear one good thing and get about 15 horror stories right after.

You always get more horror stories, bit like the evening news on TV all bad news cos good things are not news.
