Hi Stradius
Your Auratus is gorgeous.. from what I have seen in photos, it looks like a female. Also that they are extremely aggressive fish and you should put them in only with other African Cichlids. It was suggested that you can house synodontis catfish with them, but they will kill barbs and tetras.
Yours is a very beautiful specimen. Best of luck with it.

Beautiful fish, but one that I put a report on "does not mix well with others, even their own species".
If you are looking for fish to put with these that will stand up to it you need other extremely aggressive mbuna, kenyi, polits come in mind. My polits are called "one nasty mbuna" in profiles they are small but very tough. The kenyi are known for their aggressiveness, and beauty.
The other one would be a crabro, but I wouldn't mix a crabro w/ an aurartus because of the yellow/black colors.
