is there a bigger fish harrasing it or can it be changing form juvie to male..

This one is prob the most aggressive in my tank. It is always chasing the other Auratus I have, which has the clear defined yellow/black. Maybe it is going from juvi to adult? Somebody knows....

If belly starts getting black, it's transforming into male coloration. If he is chasing the other one, the other may be a female. How big is it?

The dull colored one is a little bigger than brighter one (about 2" to other one 1.5").

My auratus did the same thing until he fully matured, then he maintained his dark colors.

He/she is back to the bright yellow/black color again-still chasing the other though; not hurting them. Maybe two females?
