I'm interested to know to. I know it's an auratus (spell check) but not sure if it's male or female. Mine started out yellow now it's more black.

Looks like a male Arustus to me but I could be wrong

Male melanochromis auratus

Male melanochromis auratus

Hey Thank you. So how old would you say this guy is? He is 4 inches long. Also at what age about do the males start turning blue like this
