Red Devil - I got mine about 9 months ago, they've doubled in size...

you are doing great..mine was only 1/2 inch 9 months ago ..he doubled his size too but still only about 2.5 inches.. yours looks almost 3-.5 inches to me in video.
 
m. auratus, probably started off yellow as maturity approaches colours fade to blue black (ink stain look) after few more months colours redefine into gorgeous blue and black stripes. possibly slight hybrid as the markings on the face are more pronounced that my pure ones

Male M. auratus are brown/black.

yes you are right and i agree that this little blue guy is hybrid of those two.... here is my male auratus.
 
Looks like a melanchromis species, johanni maybe.
