Melanochromis auratus
Male? Female? Too blurry of a pic to even give an educated guess? Yeah, I think so, but I'm taking this one to show a different to ask something else...

How big? Females will remain this coloration, the belly of the male will turn black.

all are around 1 1/2, maybe 2 inches but i have yet to see any change in coloration under the bellies. And as for the aggression, the 3 M. Auratus' i have really only tend to be aggressive towards each other

The aggressiveness towards each other will probably eventually spread out to others in the tank. If you give me a minute I will post a pic for you of my male.
