Melanochromis auratus
A picture of my auratus "Pops" (named so becuase he was father to countless fry). He was a beast at over 5 inches, and was the undisputed boss of the tank. Unfortunately he snapped, and within the period od about 2-3 wks he killed all of the other fish in the tank. I had to give him to a local pet store owner.

well at least im not the only one this has happened to. mine also killed about ten other fish in about three weeks, and all were bigger then him but obviously not meaner or tougher. i just posted some pics of him cause hes going to the pet store tomorrow.
