IT DOES LOOK LIKE A MELANOCHROMIS AURATUS ALBINO..I THINK IT IS

i'll post another better pic

Ditto on the type of fish...special coloring on auratus...unique fish!

thank you, I'm new to this site and cichlid keeping. I only started in June. I'm gonna go out today and buy a couple more cichlids. I looking to get and Ice Zebra(red top zebra it has many names)

Welcome to the crazy world of cichlids..lol I to think albino auratus,,

Michelle, this is a albino "Melanochromis Auratus for sure.I had the same fish and he got to breeding with our female and got super aggressive so we traded him to Mr. Cichlids.find one of my pictures and view my album,the pics of it will be a ways back but it is there.They are beautiful but mean as all get out if the are breeding.....

yea he's aggressive with mine two. and he's the only auratus. When he gets bigger and worse i'll be getting rid of him. I'm hoping he stays the mean that he's at.

yep i agree with the melanochromis for sure .. our pet shop just got 12 in... i have a kingsisei who keeps mine under control..
