Melanchromis auratus, the females get 4" and males can be around 5-6". the males are very aggressive and almost black with one white line.

Yours is a female.

Thanks, they are really nice fish the females are very peaceful and the males are Uber aggressive. they like to be kept with 1 male to 3 females, but you only have a female there so thats fine yours won't be too aggressive. theyre a relatively common fish but they are very light and colourful and mix well with other africans both Mbuna and Haps.
