I think the fish you're referring to as an Auratus is actually Melanochromis chipokae. The photos aren't the greatest so I'm going off of the tail coloration but since it has black spots throughout the tail that means Chipokae or some type of mix being lfs assorted.Theres so many malawi cichlids so no guaruntee. But my guess is. Melanochromis auratus, and melanochromis "johanni"
Auratus are nasty little buggers. Stay away from them if you have anything other then just mbuna.
