Is the one in your profil pics your wondering bout? Cuz i dont see anythin in the thread

 

[gauriemma]

i thought this is a female. i know i have a male and a female also. But this one is ice white with black stripes no yellow at all? let me get my real camera and take a better pic.

 

[Cichildlife]

Yes thats a female males are brown-black color

 

[bcurlacher54]

yep, i have a really light one also, but its an auratus.

 

[gauriemma]

ok cool thanks guys. Is ok to have 2 females and 1 male. I have a yellow one also. I just love the white one shes a beauty.

Unfortunately, a 55 isn't big enough for auratus (unless it's a species tank) because the males claim a territory larger than the tank.

the big brown one looks like its holding....... is it?
it looks a little like a very dark auratus while the light one looks melanochromis parallelus. am i wrong? xx
